^ new degree student kah?

Nope. Diploma

so how are u ppl doing? the 4th class in TOA? haha.

Hi there, prospective student for the one academy here ... I have a few questions regarding the BA Hons Degree in Graphic Design/Illustration in comparison to the Diploma in Illustration.

As a person willing to become an illustrator/comic artist, I was considering going for the BA Degree over the diploma, but upon inspecting the diploma's courses ... they seem more resourceful to hone and train my skills as an illustrator. I really want to go for the BA hons degree but I don't know if it will be more beneficial to teaching me techniques and improving my skill in comparison to the Diploma.

Any advice would be awesome!

Basically I want to pursue a career in Illustration, preferably comics ... but I'm confused whether to go for BA Hons degree or diploma. Which one will help me with my future a little bit better? =/

it's getting better each day

where is the loaction of the onw academy ?

good to heard tat, make sure u enjoy ur assignment. TOA's lect love student tat give their 110%. haha. anyway which college does not wan they student to give their 110%..

hmm do u knw where is Sunway Pyramid? if u knw, beside pyramid there is a Maybank. if u can find maybank 100% u can see The One Academy, coz TOA is just beside Maybank!

I seriously need some info people! D:

i cant help much coz i also not sure. but i can advise u call up or even go to TOA main block and ask for more information.

The problem is, I'm a foreigner, not a Malaysian local ... so I just want to be sure before I go and apply ;_; ... I've been emailing the college for well over a week now ... but no replies

where are u from?

I'm from Pakistan, been wanting to go to TOA for a couple of years now, my A-levels are almost over ... after that I want to enroll.

my advise will be, giv them a call. coz since email does't work for u.

You'll need to have the diploma before enrolling for the degree program.

hi there... in degree course, dun expect ur skills to be as good as diploma students... in degree, they train you to use ur brain and thinking and ideas generating where in diploma they have more skill based tutorials.. in degree you will have to read a lot and also write a lot compared to diplomas courses. its more towards theory based and if you prefer skill based, join their diploma programme. in degree , we are asked to write essays and reports ...

in the other way, we learn wider fields when compared with diploma... in degree.. we learn more design elements and we touch on both graphic design and illustration.

in degree, we dont train skills, but more on ur ideology ...
the good part is, we get UK standard of education or even better while we dont need to spend that much of $$

hope u get what i mean...

i am a BA Hons Degree in GDI student in TOA....
you dont need to get ur diploma b4 u go for degree in TOA. u just join and by 4 years, u will finish the course and get ur degree cert

feel free to ask
