Visual Communication Design
A key element of The Open Window’s success is its dynamic course structure comprised of the diverse subjects required by the industry. We therefore maintain a good reputation in the industry for delivering excellent designers.
Many of our students find permanent employment before the completion of their studies. The Open Window
boasts a 95% job placement status from 2000 to the present. A contributing factor to students’ employment success is the fact that lecturers source projects from the industry to enable students to participate in real projects and gain experience while they study.
Our in-house placement agency keeps students informed of part-time job opportunities to enable them to gain precious industry experience and also to earn money while still studying.
