“The design is really a subject with full of possibilities. Although an apparently ordinary thing in our life, it is constantly designed to make our life simple and easy to comprehend, and turned into what we think it's supposed to be. Thanks for the each lecture at NEW ERA' design faculty taught me how to understand design. Hand in hand and gently leads me to achieve my new era!!!”

“Growing up, I was never exactly someone who excelled in school because I never had any interest nor even the motivation to bother studying in middle school and high school. The forced conformity and lack of true self-expression also did not appeal to me. That changed when I entered NEUC as my lecturers were genuinely passionate in what they were teaching which ignited a passion I never thought I would have motivating me to work on bettering myself. I was free to express who I am and what I wanted through the form of my portfolios and presentations.”

“I had lecturers who not only taught us design skills but also made us critique and take a stand. It was really important that we solved problems deeply when designing or creating any art piece. The happiest part was to discover what I am really passionate about while in college and to be able to make it my future career.”

“I was a person who lacked confidence and was awkward in expressing myself. The supportive environment in NEUC helped build my confidence. I improved on my communication skills too because we often had to present our work in front of our course mates, lecturers and guests. I also met the most important person in my life in NEUC – my roommate. New Era’s intimate campus size allows us to make more friends easily from other programmes. It’s an intangible factor – something you don’t find easily in the other universities. New Era was the starting point of my dream. The experience here was among the most memorable in my life.”

“Studying graphic design in New Era gave me the freedom to create. That was important for me since the Art & Design Department focuses on individual creativity rather than only on commercial appeal. The school is located in a pleasant campus with lots of club activities to keep both our minds and bodies fresh. Simply put, choosing to study in New Era was the best decision I ever made!”

“When I first came to NEUC, I was overwhelmed with assignments and projects that had to be completed every day. I soon understood that whoever wants to make it in Art and Design, they need to practice incessantly in order to grow. With guidance from lecturers who were friendly, interactive and helpful, I succeeded. At NEUC, I had the opportunity to learn ceramics and it fed my passion in seeking new experiences and knowledge in Art and Design. Thank you New Era for being a part of my life and for the fond memories.”

“Art and Design is a field with uniqueness and creativity. Being a part of the Visual Arts programme at NEUC helped me discover my own potential that I didn’t know existed. I enjoyed my college life. It provided me with a comfortable and safe campus environment. My skills were developed and knowledge of art was built. It taught me to think as a creative mind should. My journey in Art & Design didn’t end when I graduated. I am now a proud owner of an art centre where I can share my knowledge and love of art with other people.”

“The Visual Arts programme provided me with rich experiences and the freedom to explore different media and materials during my study. These courses greatly boosted our interests. With the smaller class size, I had the opportunity to interact closely with lecturers and classmates. I enjoyed my time here; New Era helped me find my goal in life and my career as a potter.”

“My first impression of classes was of delight. The lecturers were keen on opening our worlds. The lessons engaged many levels – our hands, hearts and minds. There were overseas study trips, local field trips, and hands-on activities. We interacted. It was so different than in secondary school. There’s a spirit in New Era’s Interior programme which forges strong bonds. By the time we graduated, we felt inspired to continue the good work. I went on to do architecture at a local renowned university; it was fine but the New Era experience was of a different level altogether. You can’t replicate that.”

“At New Era, I realised I didn't have to be anybody; I could be who I am. There wasn't a heavy-handed system set up to 'brainwash' us. We were encouraged to develop our own personal process without judgement or negativity. We shared. There was none of that kiasu attitude; we just shared whatever we had. That sort of learning environment – non-competitive and cooperative – was a great boost to learning. I still maintain this formula at my workplace today.”

“We have been making choices on the road of life, and every "choice" determines our future. I still remember being in a dilemma between design and media studies before going to degree. The first one is the course I like and the second one is that I can finish my degree within 2 years. After some struggle, I choose the design. Because I know that opportunity won't come again. It is difficult to start everything, and without a design background, there will indeed be a lot of hardships in the design field. I am satisfied with my choices, although it brings a lot of stressful to me. “The harder you work for something, the greater you will feel when you achieve it“. Therefore, there is no pill of regret in the world, so we should all be responsible for our choices. Whatever decision you make now, you have to believe that it is the best arrangement for you right now.”

“I keep reminding myself that life doesn't have too many assumptions and restarts. From the timidity and vigilance in the face of college life to the calmness in the new life later, I have some thoughts on myself. I have no regrets about entering the design industry, I enjoy the process of graphic design, like giving new life to a thing. I am grateful to my family for supporting and encouraging me to study in university. I am also very grateful to the teachers and classmates I met in New Era University College. Our mutual support allowed us to spend an extraordinary university life and grow each other.”

“I remember short-listing a few choices for ID programmes after completing secondary school. There were a couple that seemed really attractive but they came with higher fees. I took a chance on New Era because I didn’t want to burden my parents. Inside me, I prayed it would at least be a decent ID programme. My expectations were more than fully met. The classes challenged us to reach our potential - if you’re motivated, you’ll find the space to really grow. There’s a strong student-alumni relationship too. Till today, I am actively involved in events, e-tutorships, industrial training and activities organised by the Interior programme.”
