- It's a small course. So we'll be able to know everyone on the course in spite of the the second years and third years. That's why we'll be able to calibrate and create amazing pieces of work together and as individuals. The tutors may also know us better as individuals and they can give us individual critiques and advices.
- It's a studio based learning environment. It's more professional than in other colleges or universities. We actually will learn how to work in groups and how to use studio spaces and workshops.So we will gain practical skills and theoretical skills together.
- It's intense and motivating. We have an intense work pressure but it's only for the better. We'll be able to be professionals in the path we'll choose. It's also competitive. Because we all are trying to work our best. In the end it'll pay off.
