Journal no. 3

i'm going to Perth to take the course called "Master of Applied Design and Art" at Curtin University.

more info on the course:-

This course aims to broaden professional and vocational design skills and knowledge by engaging the student in professional design discourse and the undertaking of a design project, underpinned by design research methods and theory. Examples include live, or virtual exhibition, design schemas and models supported by a report, as well as a more conventional written dissertation. The course includes a combination of academically directed and individually inspired work, group activities and discussion.

the prerequisite to enter is a Bachelor degree in any discipline and i didn't take any interview or submit any portfolio.
