During my time at TMU so far,I am actively cultivating a versatile skill set that encompasses graphic design and UX design. As a progress in my academic journey as a passionate new media student, I have become strongly interested in marketing, communications, interactive and experiential art, graphic design and UX design. TMU is a school full of opportunity as it gives the students attending the school a voice to choose and find there own path. This is demonstrated by the many school events, and student led groups and activities that includes everyone in the TMU Community. Since the school itself is in the heart of Toronto, it allows me to get a real sense and feel for the real world as many people are roaming around campus weather they are a student or not, increasing our networks and connections to the real world. I overall am happy with TMU so far and would like to seek more student opportunities in the future.

I did a two year Master’s program in Philosophy at TMU. I can’t recommend the faculty there enough.

In academia, you will encounter two kinds of professors: researchers and teachers. The former tend to be indifferent to their students–they are more focused on publishing and writing books than they are in cultivating their students.

TMU’s Philosophy department is comprised of the latter; teachers. They take an active interest in their student’s development as thinkers. Because they don’t have doctoral students, the professors give you their undivided attention, which is rare for the Masters level.

All of this is to say: if you are interested in philosophy, but don’t quite want to dive straight into a PhD, go to TMU.

I liked the environment and culture in my program, and the exposure to different creative opportunities and skill building, self-directed projects, etc. I wish there was more opportunities for career, as not everyone in the program is going to be an independent artist.
