Where Creative Minds Are Inspired

Contemporary in focus and innovative in approach, LASALLE has been nurturing some of Singapore’s leading creative practitioners. Our hero graduates and accomplished faculty staff include established artists at the Venice Biennale, acclaimed designers recognised by the British D&AD and red dot, respected curators, writers, musicians, dance and theatre pioneers, and countless practitioners from the creative industries in Singapore and beyond.

The College is a non-profit, private educational institution, operating autonomously with financial support from Singapore’s Ministry of Education (MOE). Singaporeans and Permanent Residents are eligible for subsidised fees for diploma studies through the MOE Tuition Grant Scheme (conditions apply).
