Testimonials from previous students
Jomy Joseph, Master of Design. Currently PhD at AHO
My experience at AHO has been great. The studios are small and the workshops are some of the best, with staff that really push you into cultivating a critical view of design. Here you can explore any field you like with as much depth as you want to take it to. So it is mostly up to the students to use their insights and understanding of the field to learn and explore. It helps to be self motivated, be willing to fail and learn from that failure. The professors are very experienced and bring to the course learnings from research projects within the field they work in. I think the environment helps foster self driven students to have a safe space for exploration. It feels like a small community of diverse experiences and ideas and come together to create something profoundly new. That for me is exciting as a designer.
