If you are interested in design, willing to work hard and get as much out of the course as possible, then Shillington is the best place to go to learn graphic design. Studying abroad will be an unforgettable experience and you will definitely learn a lot from it. It’s so much more than only learning the theory behind graphic design. You’ll learn the design thinking and how to turn that into a great visual design. I moved from the Netherlands to study and the cool thing about studying abroad is of course discovering a new place and culture, meeting new people, sharing an interest and inspiring each other. It is all part of the adventure! The teachers are great, they make you feel at home and take your ideas and work seriously. The thing I loved of doing this course abroad, is that I got to focus myself 100% on it. I was surrounded with people who all had the same goal: becoming a graphic designer. You must work hard and go all in, but don’t forget to explore the city as well and have a lot of after-school drinks with your classmates!

At first it felt like a huge risk quitting the steady career I had built for years, but Shillington has genuinely been the best investment and career choice I’ve ever made! I can honestly say that I have learnt more in the 9 months at Shillington than I did in the 3 years at university and know others that would say the same! Shillington is a well-recognised course in the design industry, with grads all over the globe smashing it whether they work for huge agencies, own their own studio or are amazing freelancers.

Studying with Shillington changed my life and was the best money I ever spent on my happiness. I graduated from Shillington in 2011 and quite soon after I left Shillington I got my first design job in fashion, and I stayed with them for four years. It was an amazing learning experience, and got me to the level of Art Director. These days I run my own freelance business and founded Akasha Yoga Life. I still follow the same creative process we were taught at Shillington, and that includes any branding I do for my own business.

What an experience – loved every minute! Expect to work very hard, challenge yourself and learn a lot. An intense and rewarding experience that has resulted in me rapidly getting to work as a designer. Would do it all again if I could!

I was at a huge turning point in my life when I decided to enrol at Shillington, it was the best decision I have ever made. I’ve learnt so so much in the past 9 months and I wouldn’t have changed anything about my Shillington experience! My teachers were so incredible and patient! Thanks to Shillington I’ve met an amazing bunch of people and gained so much knowledge and I’m so excited for what the future holds for me now!
