Students also enjoy access to truly world-class and international educational experiences, which have included participating in the 14th Annual Conference of International Foundation of Fashion Technology Institutes (IFFTI) in India, as well as a fashion show at the Pearl Academy, a top ranked fashion design and technology school.
Internationalism is an important pillar that holds up institutions of the Laureate network and the opportunity for members to share knowledge, thought processes, best practices, academic talent and resources across the distances makes this Laureate advantage a truly unique one. The Laureate Centers of Excellence in Art, Architecture and Design – which includes MDS, NABA, Domus, Pearl Academy, BTK and many others – provide an international landscape for the exchange of curriculum, faculty, and students, as well as opportunities for dual-degree programmes.
“Our further study options via advanced credit transfer to MDS and other institutions give students an affordable pathway towards an international qualification at degree and postgraduate levels. This learning experience for the students are many fold and outweighs many other qualifications in terms of the overall teaching and learning experience, academic resources and the social cultural context,” said Anis Laila Yap, Dean, INTI Centre of Art & Design.
“Through credit transfer, our students have the opportunity to expand their educational experiences by studying in local and foreign environments. This exposes them to a variety of ideas and ways of thinking, developing them as designers with international perspectives – an advantage in the global employment market. Many graduates take up the opportunity to work abroad for a period before returning to their home country,” she added.
