The world of Graphics and Advertising is the place for me! At the AOD, I’m preparing to plunge in to the world of Advertising with the guidance of an international faculty and a globally accepted curriculum that covers everything from Graphic design and animation to the ground-breaking notions of Advertising and Marketing.   I have a great feeling about this!

For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by the world of fashion. A subject that’s highly misunderstood by society, is a multi-billion dollar industry that dictates global trends. Thankfully, AOD’s Northumbria University degree was there to help me realise my destiny. At AOD students can expect a stellar learning experience and the best lecture panel available for fashion in Sri Lanka.

Following the Jewellery Design programme at AOD, I’m learnt how interesting, complex and fun the subject matter really is. From Research, Inspiration, hands-on-manufacturing skills to final design, there’s so much to discover, learn and apply!
