One of the best things about my course was the outstanding input and exchange between the students and professors. I loved the state of the art examples, projects, discussions and workshops. A memory that has stayed with me was working together with Mr Andy Sandham and learning as much as I could from his impressive game and VR/AR skills in such a small amount of time. I also really enjoyed learning basic management know-how by Dr Nadine Waehning, who was always supportive and designed interactive and engaging classes. York St John helped me achieve my ambition as I now work as Art Director at Purefood GmbH in Hamburg, Germany. YSJ helped me to be more brave and apply for a design job in a sustainable company.
