"My Pasifika mentor helped me feel a sense of connection and a sense of community at OP. It was nice to have a familiar face in amongst the hustle and bustle of campus."
Matilda Garnett, Bachelor of Social Services
"The programme was really hands-on and prepared us extremely well. It was down to our excellent lecturers, who had worked in the industry themselves and had very strong industry connections."
Alex Broad, Lead Designer at Evolve Outdoors
“The lecturers don’t tell you what to do or how to do it, but provide advice and support to guide you along the way. They encourage you to follow your own areas of interest, and then they help you to explore those.”
Tegan Rose Vickery, Fashion Design
