“Even though the time I spent in Flinders and CUSCS was short, I had learned so much while I was here. With the guidance of lecturers, tutors and CUSCS staff, I have learned not just the techniques which I could apply to my work but also the team-building spirit with my classmates. They were passionate about visual art and film-making, their young spirits kindled my heart for pursuing the endless-road of learning, to work hard on projects together, and be a perfectionist on every single frame. What I had learned in Flinders and CUSCS has broadened my horizon. Before that, I was just a graphic designer, and now I have been working as a motion-graphic artist on multi-projects.”

"I had worked as a Graphic designer for a few years after graduating from Higher Diploma Programme of CUSCS. I came back to study the Bachelor of Creative Arts (Digital Media) offered by Flinders University with an aim to gain more knowledge, sharpen my skill, and to broaden my horizons and imagination. During my study at Flinders, I joined the Industrial Mentorship Programme, through which I could connect with experts in the creative industries to learn more about the industry development in Hong Kong. In addition, I had an internship opportunity and joined a company to delve into AR and VR skills which was a new world that I had never experienced before. All of these are wonderful experiences that I never expected when I decided to study this programme."
