It's a really good course if you are someone who has previous experience with the topic. Personally, it was hard to get into it giving that I didn't do graphics before, but I did art, media and product design. Basically, there are some concepts that you get taught and expect to master quickly by just doing your own work. Also, the way the industry is makes it that most students focus on the digital side, so if you don't do that it might be hard to learn and get used to by yourself, and you will probably feel left out. It's a very quick paced course and although there is help available with everything, if you have anxiety/depression or are neurodivergent, it could be really hard for you to deal with everything and you will probably find it hard to do everything in time because the only really set in stone deadlines are at the end of the year and so motivation fades in projects. If you don't have a diagnosis yet there is not much there can be done in terms of accommodations. read more

I've struggled quite a lot in my first year, again, due to personal reasons, and because of this (and generally being shy) i don't think i took full advantage of my university resources. I hope to do more of this next year, but if any uni has great facilities for Graphic Design, it's NTU. You can tell they are a uni who cares about creativity and the arts, which I appreciate a lot. The course team are also incredible and are so passionate about what they do, it's lovely to see. read more

Ok so the course so far has had amazing tutors who all are great! The course itself is really good but I think the best part is how quickly it improves! The content is diverse but could be more open but maybe that's just me. The personal tutors I've had so far really helped me alot and I wish I could've talked to this year tutor more but the pandemic is hard one eveyone. I think this year had affected my experience alot but I'm sure everyone has it rough anyways read more

I have only just finished term 1 so my judgement of the course is still new. I have found the course very challenging so far as it isn't quite what I expected, however I am beginning to enjoy it now. The course is very structured to begin with, introducing you to new ways of thinking, brainstorming and working - which for me was a surprise but I have found that it is benefiting me in ways I hadn't realised. You do a series of 1/2 week projects which all have a different focus (the client, pattern, type) and everyone has a different idea given to them within each project meaning your focus will be totally different to anyone else's. read more

I thought I was going to be attending yet another course with all males and the fact the course has females, really gives you sort of motivation to stick at it! The teaching is pretty amazing as there is no tip toeing around something, it's an honest review for your own benefit which is what you want in an arts course! I believe every uni course is over priced, way over priced but the quality of my course considering everything is pretty amazing. Definitely recommend my uni for graphic design to future students who are interested. read more
