STUDY X TRAVEL

$1,000
TRAVEL CREDITS

To celebrate our 16th year in Singapore and winning the title of the top ad design school (non-government funded) again in Crowbar Awards 2018, we are raising our game of providing the best learning exposure to our students.

We will be giving all new full-time students* up to $1,000 worth of travel credits to travel around the world to learn from top creatives internationally.

Each year, we bring our students to places like New York, South Korea, Bali, Paris, etc. to learn from the local industrial practitioners as we believe that it will give our students a different perspective and excellent chance to gain insights into different roles within the creative industry.

Moving forward, our students will still learn from lecturers who are established creatives, they will still work on projects to build their portfolio, but now, they will also get to travel for free with these travel credits.

You are welcome.
