TESTIMONIALS

“The culture at the school is extremely conducive for learning. I have just recently graduated from there, and I have always felt that the lecturers have placed us students as an important priority and asset. They have sacrificed their personal time just to do portfolio reviews and to speak with me regarding personal problems, despite constantly being swarmed with work themselves.
The curriculum is also unique; I realise the lecturers teach not just the fundamentals up through to advanced design language, but they also equip us with how to further our education after this 1 year course. Whenever faced with the question of "How do I study ____", I am always able to trace it back to what I was taught as a guiding principle, and I know how to develop my skill further. If you have no experience studying art, you have a lot to gain. If you have some experience, you can benefit even greater because the lecturers are very involved and will tailor your education to your needs - but of course only if the student is willing to be proactive. Overall really enjoyed my experience in the school!”
