If you’re passionate about design, animation, fashion, or anything visual - and wondering where to begin - The One Academy (TOA) is a name worth exploring. Recognised globally for creative excellence, TOA has helped thousands of students turn their interest into careers, both in Malaysia and abroad.
Not Sure Where to Start? The Diploma Route Could Be for You
For many students, the right first step is a 3-year diploma. It’s focused, hands-on, and leads straight into real industry roles. At TOA, diploma students learn from award-winning mentors and work on practical projects that mirror professional briefs.
Diploma options include:
- Advertising & Graphic Design
- Digital Animation
- Film Visual Effects
- Illustration
- Digital Media Design
- Interior Design
- Fashion Design & Pattern Making
- Fine Arts
These courses are structured for students after SPM/O-Levels or equivalent. And with TOA’s strong career placement support, many graduates land jobs even before finishing their studies.
Interested in a Degree Instead? You Don’t Have to Leave Malaysia
TOA partners with the University of Hertfordshire (UK) to offer full 3+0 degree programmes - meaning you can earn an internationally recognised UK qualification without going overseas.
Available degrees:
- BA (Hons) Digital Media Design
- BA (Hons) Graphic Design: Advertising & Branding
- BA (Hons) Interior Architecture & Design
These programmes combine UK-level academic rigour with TOA’s creative training and industry mentorship.
What Sets TOA Apart?
It’s not just the curriculum - it’s the people and outcomes. TOA has been ranked the World’s No.1 Creative School by the Rookies Global School Rankings 2024, ahead of hundreds of institutions worldwide.
Its graduates go on to work in roles like Lead Animator, Creative Director, and Art Director at companies like Pixar, PlayStation, Apple, and Wētā FX. That doesn’t happen by accident - it comes from years of committed training, mentoring, and support.
Thinking Ahead
Choosing where and how to study is a big decision. If you’re serious about building a career in the creative industries, it’s worth looking into what TOA offers. You can start with a foundation, a diploma, or a degree - and grow from there.
