Bachelor of Arts in Product Design (Class of 2020)
Ivana ELVIANY
Graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Honours in a short period of three years is not an easy feat. At Raffles, there is not a day without submissions and deadlines for each progression. Despite the numerous deadlines, everything did not feel too oppressive because of the learning environment. All these experiences I got only at Raffles.
