Uni SA degree program officially launced
Was in college yesterday for the Taylor's/ Uni SA degree program launch. It was quite a big deal I guess with big names from both sides present. The launch was held at the auditorium down in the Annexe. Usual launching stuff la, speech, speech, and more speech...
The highlight for me was the unveiling of the brand new 'media hub', a multimedia studio of sorts catered to communications students. The place formerly known as student services has been converted into a RM1 million canggih work station boasts the latest Apple G5 computers and separate project rooms for advertising and PR students.
The facilities seem promising for now, but in at the end of the day it really depends on the management to maintain and upgrade the facilities to cater the massive amount of students that are expected to enrol in the near future. Judging from the insane capitally driven marketing campaign that Taylor's has been embarking on for the past few months, I foresee a possible lack of resources to cater to ALL communication students, current and future ones as well.
But for now I'm looking forward to doing my degree in multimedia studies and can't wait to try my eager hands on those G5s. I just hope they got a fullproof network set up. Knowing the reliability of Taylor's ICT department, I'm starting to get a bit worried already, coz high speed internet connections are essential for downloading and sending those mega huge video files...
