Media Design School

My grandson went here, can't believe he wasted his time to get a 'degree' that cost as much as it would from a real tertiary institution! He came out with less knowledge than my granddaughter who's only be at Auckland University for 1.5 years!! Disgraceful!!

Hands-on future proof education, incredible lecturers from industry, and a beautiful new campus in the innovation precent of Auckland.

NZ's mort awarded design and technology school. Nurturing work-ready graduates. Highly recommended.

They never answer phone calls. Good luck going here if you value communications because they ignore the phone to play video games

MDS is a good school, but I cannot say it is the perfect school like many wants to say. I have learned a lot during my time here, the staff and the majority of the teachers are amazing and will do their best to help the students in difficulty. Overhaul the lessons and skills taught are good quality.However, the MDS administration seems to be overwhelm at time, and papers can get lost. A classmate received the wrong schedules from the school and missed two weeks because he was still abroad. I received a letter saying I did not renewed my re enrolment form (despite the fact that I filled it on campus and gave it to them directly in their office). Some assignments receive wrong due dates or wrong criteria. Some issues with softwares and computers too.The majority of teachers are really good in their domain and help a lot. But some teachers (luckily just a few) do not share their vision. There is a teacher, very talented and have an amazing background. However, he cannot hide that he is annoyed that students ask him to repeat or slow down, with the cliché pay attention I'm not going to repeat" as his favorite response. As an international student

I attended the BCT (Game Art course) of which seemed structured in the beginning. However further into the years lecturers left, courses were scrambled, software issues, computer issues, degrading in quality of papers. Things are not what they are put out to be. If you want a degree that is easy and requires little to no skill to pass and want a job, people skills are all you need because out of 100 odd art students 20-30 made it to 3rd year, of which maybe 5-7 landed jobs in studios. (they won't disclose actual statistics to save their beacon.)

finished uni for more than a year now still waiting to be officially graduated.

One of the best place to study if you are really into graphic design, animation and 3d modeling.

Really overpriced institute. Most of the learning material is copy pasted from the internet. Really don't recommend if you want to better yourself in your career. Everything they teach you here, you can learn from searching online and free courses.

These guys are a joke! I submitted two enquiries about one of their courses via their website and no response for more than 2 weeks.They must not want any new students. Not surprising from reading the other reviews where people said they don't even answer their phones...well I can attest to everyone that they ALSO don't answer their online enquiries being sent through.If this is how they treat their prospective customers/students, think of how they treat their current students whom they've already taken money from.
