They were supportive, but there was also a push to achieve your best results, not to settle for any grade when you could do better. I really benefited from that.

Yiying studied Bachelor of Design at UTS. She is now the Founder at YIYING LU & Design Lecturer of Program of Creativity + Innovation at New York University, Shanghai.

I think the UTS degree was a nice blend of both practical and intellectual. It provided me with industry skills and problem solving. It encouraged me to experiment, fail, reflect, eventually create and innovate.
