hey there,
i just graduated from highschool and im interested in studying graphic design

im wondering which college or unversity provide better graphic design course. .
im not sure which one is better so i kinda need help choosing.

im been to some edu fairs and college , im thinking Sunway College University, which provide graphic n multimedia design , i think its quite good cos it combine both graphic n multimedia in one course unlike other institutes which separate them as two individual courses.. so i think its quite good since computer stuff is quite important nowadays..
(please correct me if im wrong)

plus sunway is alot cheaper compared to Lim Kok Wing n The One Academy because in my case money is kind of a problem.(my mom asked me to study UKM cos its cheap but i dun think UKM provide design courses)

i was thinking abt Taylors too, and also Raffles in Msia, and PJCAD..
im not sure at the three of them but im sure it'd help alot to clear things off my mind

so im asking opinions from everyone and also students who are studying graphic design which is the better institute..
or is there any other better ones out there. .locally though..

thank you for reading this post , im just very confused now..
please help me out here.. seriously need help .. lol

did u go through creative multimedia courses at MMU multimedia university ?

The One Academic

nope.. i din know abt MMU n i had no idea MMU offers such courses...

is it a good university?

im interested in the advertsing business btw. .

same topic also.

thanks. i appreciates it . helps alot .. haha


but still wonders which one suits me the most

dasein,..
it's quite good oso..

erm...if what u want is to be a designer in advertising firm, i would advise not to enter MMU.

As a graduate from MMU FCM (faculty of creative multimedia), i don't see MMU courses help much compare to the one academy. MMU courses focus more on software skills than design sense. u can always learn the software from online free tutorial, but is the design skills that u need to learn from lecturers.

but if what u want to be is account executive or other non-design position in advertising firm, MMU is a good choice. their management courses are good. the best thing about MMU is the fee is cheaper than most private uni/college and u can easily get PTPTN to cover ur study fee + a bit of allowance. by the way, study design is an expensive subject, u need to buy a lot of art tools (brushes, colours, markers...), art material (mounting board, glue, canvas), money to print your artwork/photos (i used to print 10R/A2 size) and u really need a mid-high end digital camera (it is a must for MMU design 2nd year courses =___=)

Raffles also expensive

TOA <<<<<<

but if i can get in i think i need to pick up a part time job or sumthing .. i asked a student from sunway, she works part time too to cover the expenses, she applied for PTPTN loan too...

i went to sunway college university open day, i dunoe but they sound not too bad..
although its not as good as maybe TOA or other big shots institute but they din leave me a bad impression..

he best in the wordl? the one and only lim kok wing. with over 9000 foreign stduents so that you will feel like in europe. you will have bigger network once you graduate. plus you can sample the culture and language of foreign countryw hile still living locally

its the coolest colleges who produce students with vision and awesome skills.

the college is also not pretentious having to resort to full page ads showing THE SAME ARTWORK of THE SAME STUDENT every year to give you the impression that the college is superb

the college also does not produce students likes its a degree mill and perverted its once proud legacy as one of malaysia's top colleges

LUCT is also alot more laid bag with the best student power compared to other college. you hate going to class? no problem. just as long as you show your work once a week to a lecturer you will be fine. the keyword here is INDEPENDENCE. you are not spoon fed or FORCED TO DO THINGS UNTILL YOU BLEED PUKE like the other colleges given above

dont believe the hype.. go to the colleges and check out of the environment suits your personality.


this is a paid advertispost sponsored by chicken king

the one. my friends all form there ..

ya im voiting for the one academy too. actually im heading to the one academy for graphic design or animation because they r more creactive. if u think that its too expensive,u can go to KBU. one of my senior went there for graphic. its more cheaper. I hope that my suggestion can help u. Good luck.

wat...
@_@
im going to mmu, and ur post kinda freaked me out a bit.

let me add the freakiness going to mmu.

I'm unsure how about other college, but you guys better be prepared to see your artworks:

thrown away from the fifth floor
stomped on the lectures feet
torn

so just imagine. you went for an outing to take photos, stick it on the mountingboard. but it is not aligned, poorly stick-ed.. the lecturer will try to kopek your's and then:

this is how you stick pictures?
why the picture isn't straight?

zrasss.. they torn your precious artwork. if you've did better, but your photo aren't that beautiful...

my son can do more better than this
this waterfall is like my tiny little son's p*ss you know. ( because that waterfall so thin )

but in the end, those tougher challenge, improve us the students

oh, those kinda treatments im used to already. i was in GMi. n the lecturers there were taken from their 'habitat'.. they really mean business when they teach..
but theyre doing it for the sake of the students. that i dont really mind la.
what im worried about was what he mentioned. those things to buy. art paper n markers n colors n all n camera summore. @_@ u need to buy a lot of art tools (brushes, colours, markers...), art material (mounting board, glue, canvas), money to print your artwork/photos (i used to print 10R/A2 size) and u really need a mid-high end digital camera (it is a must for MMU design 2nd year courses =___=)

crap2.. i really need a scholarship or loan. y no one told me about that.
