Foundation Pathways

As a Pacific student, I felt encouraged to explore my identity in my work.. It wasn’t always easy - I didn’t always know how to express my culture visually - but that challenge helped me grow. It made me dig deeper, reconnect with my family, and build a stronger sense of who I am.

Every day your work ethic is noticed by your peers and colleagues. Managing your social graces and personal habits is as much a part of studying as the learning part.

Studying at MDS prepared me for the industry entirely. MDS's project-based learning in a design studio setting really represents the type of collaborative work environment I went into.
