NDS in now taking applications for 2012

Applications to NDS are now open for 2012. 

Check the 'How do I apply' page for further information. 

Please download an application form via our web page and post it in. 

It's that time of the year again.. We are over half way through classes for 2011 and are looking at preparing for interviews for next year's NDS intake.

That got us thinking that we should be asking you to think about anyone you may know of who needs a year at 'Northies' (and don't we all!). We rely so heavily on word of mouth, and there is nothing quite like a recommendation from someone who has really seen the impact (first hand) that the Design Studies year can have.

So do you have a friend, cousin, little sibling, friend of the family, neighbour, work mate, or partner who "wants to do something in art & design but doesn't know how to get a folio together"? We take mature age and post VCE/VCAL students.

We offer Certificate IV in Design & Certificate IV in Visual Art & Contempary Crafts. Students who get a distinction grade average in the course can bypass the ANTA for Monash Uni art & Design courses. Monash now offers 2 scholarships directly for NDS students entering Vis comm! We have an agreement with Victoria Uni for direct entry into Creative Industries & second year entry into Dip/Assoc Dip Graphic Design. We also offer the VCAL Senior Extension-Folio Enhancement which enables students to get a 10% bonus on their ANTA (ENTER) score!

So... if you know of anyone, direct them to the website http//:www.nds.vic.edu.au

or they can call us on 94781333
