V. Student Testimonial
Mr. Nguyễn Tăng Quang

“I had the opportunity to attend a seminar organized by Đức Anh and meet directly with lecturers from University of the Arts London when they visited Vietnam. Speaking with them in person helped me better understand my chosen field and realize what I could do to further develop myself. That was when I decided to pursue my studies in the UK.
In London, there are countless seminars, museums, exhibitions, and events hosted by designers and renowned experts from around the world. They organize many impressive talk shows and exhibitions. Therefore, beyond classroom learning, I had many opportunities to learn from the surrounding environment. Lecturers always encourage students to balance studying at university with learning from real-world experiences. For many Master’s programmes in Europe, students typically attend classes only three to four times per week, with the remaining time dedicated to self-study. Therefore, by actively going out, participating in activities, and gaining diverse experiences, you can develop yourself very quickly.” |
Ms. Nguyễn Đỗ Bảo Châu BA Textile Design, Central Saint Martins, UAL |
“I feel incredibly fortunate to have been given the opportunity to study at one of the world’s most prestigious institutions for design, Central Saint Martins.
The learning environment here is highly competitive and constantly challenges me to produce work of the highest standard. However, it is precisely this pressure that has helped me experience significant growth in my creative thinking and design approach. Over the past year, studying here has not only allowed me to connect with classmates from many different countries, but also to learn a great deal from them through critique sessions and collaborative discussions. In addition, the school’s facilities are exceptionally well equipped, and I can easily seek support from skilled technicians in the workshops whenever needed. Two years ago, when I first began preparing my university applications, I felt quite uncertain about the process of applying to UAL. However, thanks to the dedicated guidance and support from the consultants at Duc Anh EduConnect, I was able to complete my portfolio submission and visa application smoothly, and ultimately received the results I had hoped for.” |
