Do You Need A Degree To Get A Graphic Design Job?
First things first, we get asked so many questions every week.
If you didn’t already know–anyone can book a chat with one of our team, and we’ll jump on a call to answer any questions you might have. Our chats range from practical questions about financing and timings, through to helping you figure out which course is right for you or providing reassurance.
The bright idea
Given we're already having all these chats with prospective students, we thought: Why not share the questions we get the most with you all? Think of it as our FAQs long read or us telepathically knowing what you’re going to ask (because someone already did) and doing all the hard work for you. You’re welcome.
Taking the next steps in your creative journey can be daunting. So we’ll be asking some graduates and teachers to help out with your most asked questions.
We hope it goes without saying. If you’d prefer to chat, go ahead and book one. We love to chat. But if you’re more the reading kind–keep scrolling.
