This is a selection of comments made through the Student Staff Consultative Committee which runs online every semester to allow a free flow of debate and suggestions from students and lecturers on aspects of course content and delivery.

“I am extremely satisfied with the program. After only 3 semesters, I feel much more able to communicate design to my colleagues and clients with confidence and professionalism.”

“I am satisfied and definitely feel I am more capable to talk professionally about design and better service clients and come up with better design solutions because of these courses”.

“I also have a deep personal satisfaction in that I want to forever be a lifelong learner. And this program is helping me achieve a goal I've had for a long time of obtaining a master's degree in a field I am passionate about. It came along at just the right time in my life”.

“I have really enjoyed all my classes so far - each is a little different and the professors are each unique which is great”.

“- it feels a bit daunting 8 weeks in but it is fantastic to be using my brainagain on something this intellectually stimulating".

"... while the process of design can and should be both intellectually and creatively challenging the reality is that I usually feel more like a battery hen at the end of the day!! “.

“Having not formally studied for some nine years it has been a rewarding experience. Now, juggling a career and study, you become very aware of the issue of time management. Having committed to one course has worked well to commence studies”.

“I do see the workload as a fairly intense commitment but I'd expect no less for such a level of education we are receiving. The workload is manageable, and having the support of your peers is definitely an added advantage”.
