Testimonials
The course was fun, the modules were interesting and practical. The constant feedback on my work helped me to really develop my skills. What I learned in Creative Digital Media has helped so much in my studies in MTU and gave me confidence in myself and my abilities. The teachers were supportive and talented. We went on incredible trips in the two years. I lived in Lithuania for a month on Erasmus.
I’ve never experienced anything quite like it before, and I’m not likely to again. The course completely changed my life, and I wish I could do it all over again. They helped me to apply for advanced entry to MTU through CCPS links and gave me all the information and support I needed to advance in my education and to prepare me for the next stage of learning. I am grateful for everything the college has done for me, and I am really glad that I got to experience all the college had to offer.
Liane McCarthy – Digital Marketing Executive. Graduate of Creative Digital Media (BA Honours) MTU
I started this course as I was looking for a way to change my career. As a Ukrainian refugee I can’t fully use my main skill – communication. So, I was looking for tools and skills for nonverbal communication and ways to express myself.
Choosing this course was the best decision at this stage of my life. When I started this course, I knew nothing about coding or using Photoshop, Premier Pro, etc. The amount of knowledge and skills I got for this academic year impressed me.
It is not only about skills, it is about team work. I am grateful to all my teachers for their passion to their work, for their effort to give us as much as they can, and the up to date hardware and software is a nice bonus too.
I also used my opportunity to go on Erasmus which was great.
If I went back in time, I would choose this course again.
