Fashion Design Student Class of 2010 (graduating)

"I got to know about Raffles from CF at magazines, also, Raffles has always had a good reputation in design. Among the 36 Raffles campuses, I preferred Bangkok because of its lower consumer cost and the campus location which is conveniently in the town centre.

I love Thailand because of its variety of food, freedom of society and the short distance to travel back to Taiwan. Furthermore, for design there are multiple sources and opportunities in Bangkok as its government emphasizes a lot on the design field. However cultural gaps do exist between Thai people and foreigners but it provides good opportunities for exchange of ideas. The good thing is Raffles lecturers are really friendly, patient and professional.

The works they gave helped me a lot in developing my passion and patience at work."

"I got to know about Raffles from my brother who studies in Bangkok. As I have always wanted to pursue a degree in Graphic Design, I thought Raffles would be the best place for me because of its high reputation in the design field. Studying at Raffles has been a really great experience so far. I’ve been learning a lot in a few months.

They have really high quality lecturers here. Studying in Thailand has a lot of advantages, it’s affordable and convenient. The culture is really similar to my country, so I’m not having a hard time adapting here. I would like to recommend you to come to study here with the Raffles family.

I dare say that you will get a lot of experience from the professional lecturers and the international environment."

Product Design Student
2nd prize from “Electrolux Design Lab Competition

"Actually, I graduated from Assumption University but I wanted to continue my study in Product Design. I found that Raffles offers a 3-year Product Design program. I was really interested because when I searched, all universities offer Product Design in 4-5 year programs. I don’t want to study for too long because I already have a bachelor’s degree. At Raffles the lecturers let me think out of the box rationally. I can communicate and present my project effectively as well. You don’t only learn the theory, but lecturers teach you how to adapt your knowledge to the real business world. I dare to say that after students graduate from Raffles they will have a good job which will guarantee their future.".
