TAFE is cheaper than university and provides more practical work than university. I feel more confident and ready to work than learning just theory and having no practice. Also, I feel that there is more contact and support from lecturers at TAFE. There is also a lot to learn from each assignment we work on. We go on site visits and are allowed to be creative and produce functional designs.

I chose TAFE for its exceptional reputation, high academic standards, and practical approach to learning. TAFE's pragmatic methodology, which emphasises hands on learning and real-world experience, greatly appealed to me.

I heard that graphic design is one of the best courses offered at TAFE and when compared to other universities it’s more practical and cheaper. This course helped to expand my skills and knowledge, and connect me with industry.

I love Perth so much! I think after graduation, I will be freelance in this industry in Australia and probably Japan, too. I can choose my work style.
