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? =/

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 sad.gif

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 $$ smile.gif

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  biggrin.gif

THANK YOU!

God, it feels so good to have you give me a insight on the whole thing. I thank you! biggrin.gif

So, in GDI ... do we have the option to choose a specific side of study like ... If I wanted to concentrate more on the Illustration side rather than the Graphics Design side ... and how is the foundation year? Do they build up skill for the Degree?
