“My favorite module is Major Project Studio because we have the chance to experience the full design process, from preparing a portfolio to presenting a presentation board, just like working in a design company. I feel connected to RU when there are many events from other clubs that are open for us to join, which are very interesting. I would advise new students to explore the design industry as much as possible, not only in interior design but also in areas like lighting effects, landscape design, and more.”

Life as an RU student was a unique experience. The growth I have seen in myself thanks to Raffles University is invaluable. It has taught me things far beyond theoretical knowledge and helped me broaden my horizons. I loved the friendly atmosphere at Raffles University and the fact that the lecturer were really close to the students.
