I CAN USE MY IMAGINATION TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Media has the power to influence people’s perceptions and ideas. The Arts ignite our senses and expand our minds. Design can change the way we shape, perceive, understand, enrich and experience life.

In a world that is volatile and complex, imagination can transform workplaces, communities and so, the world itself. Creativity and imagination opens up pathways to careers in the fields of media, arts and design.

At the Media, Arts & Design School, we are MAD about:• Developing creativity using pedagogical methods – from studio-based

learning to out-of-classroom learning activities• Tapping the experience of our lecturers – all industry experts – to equip

students with skills and knowledge to solve problems• Providing learning spaces modelled after real-world work environments

for authentic learning• Collaborating with industry partners and academic institutions to prepare

students for employment

Here at MAD School, our students are in the business of taking what they imagine – and turning it into reality – to make a difference in the creative industries.
