RMIT Vietnam Speciality : Art & Design
programme: Design and Innovation

As a first-year Design student at RMIT, I am most impressed with the way the program builds a solid foundation: Drawing Basics, Design Principles and Creative Thinking courses take place in parallel, so that you can practice hand-drawing techniques while nurturing modern design thinking. At least two studio sessions a week, the lecturer critiques directly on the paper, helping me correct “hot” errors and progress very quickly. The facilities are also a big plus: Mac Lab, 3D printing workshop, product photography lightbox or Wacom kit are all ready to serve, plus the final exhibition space allows students to exhibit their work and receive widespread feedback. However, the cost of materials and printing is quite “painful for the wallet”, and the tight submission schedule can easily turn the peak week into a “deadline storm”. If you want to hone both “hand and brain” skills in an international environment and are willing to invest time, effort and budget, Design RMIT is completely worth pursuing.
