Raffles NZ

Raffles College Of Design and Commerce (RCDC) is a unique education provider based in Auckland, New Zealand specializing in design, digital photography, digital animation, business, early childhood and IT.

Keeping pace with the industry, we deliver excellent courses and produce graduates who are well respected and successful in their creative careers. We do this by having lecturers who are active in industry, so their teaching constantly benefits from real-time knowledge of what’s going on out there. Raffles College Of Design and Commerce is wholly owned by Raffles Education Corporation (REC), Asia Pacific’s premier creative design and business education provider with a network of 39 colleges of higher education in 35 cities across 15 countries in the Asia-Pacific region: Singapore, Australia, China, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, New Zealand, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Thailand.

Raffles aim to deliver high quality teaching and learning through curricula that consistently emphasise:

• Creativity and innovation

• Industry relevance and employability
• Professional excellence
• Socially responsible and ethically professional practice

Raffles will deliver its programmes through its own campus in New Zealand and internationally in partnership with Raffles Education Corporation (REC) and Raffles University (RU). Offering our programs through RU into the REC network internationalizes RCDC and provides our students and staff with a unique opportunity to live and work in a number of international environments and in the process gain a competitive edge in the global community.

Raffles’ goal is to deliver excellent design and management programs. Our rigorous programmes seek to develop students’ technical skills in a myriad of design disciplines.
