“I am a 2024 Paris Olympian in the 100m hurdles, and am also in the process of completing my Bachelor's degree in Fashion Marketing. As a professional athlete, I faced significant challenges in finding an online degree that could accommodate my demanding schedule.
I am immensely grateful to Collarts for providing the support and flexibility I needed to balance my studies with my athletic commitments, allowing me to pursue my education regardless of where I was training or racing around the world.
The online format of the Fashion Marketing course enabled me to successfully achieve my goals in both athletics and my studies. I wholeheartedly recommend Collarts and the Fashion Marketing program, and I will forever be thankful for the invaluable opportunity they have provided me.”
“Studying online was a unique and rewarding experience that empowered me to take ownership of my learning journey. At first, remote learning seemed daunting and I was worried about the level of interaction and support I would receive compared to a traditional classroom environment.
However, the interactive discussions, live projects, and industry insights exceeded my expectations and deepened my passion for design. The flexibility also allowed me to sharpen my work ethics while maintaining a balanced approach to personal commitments.
For anyone considering studying online at Collarts, take advantage of the resources at your disposal and take an inquisitive approach to your learning. Express your ideas, don’t hesitate to ask questions, seek help when needed, and go the extra mile. By showing up, engaging, and feeling excitement for what’s to come, you’ll uncover endless opportunities and growth.”

“I'm from Sydney and I chose to study the Bachelor of applied Business (Fashion Marketing) course online. I prioritised online learning as it meant I could work to my own schedule and achieve my goals whilst studying. I made the most of my online study by interning at a variety of places, including magazines and PR agencies whilst studying, so I was learning on-site in conjunction with my course.
Collarts was super supportive and the online lectures and flexible schedule allowed me to take great work opportunities whilst studying. I am now living in London and working full-time in styling and production, and this was 100% possible because of my decision to study online and save and work whilst doing uni.”
“Studying the Diploma of Photography online at Collarts opened me to a new world of creative opportunities.
I chose to study online because it allowed me to balance my education with other commitments, such as a part-time job. Studying at Collarts made me feel welcomed and gave me real industry experience despite being online.
The lecturers were always incredibly helpful with my learning experience. At times they would give one-on-one feedback on my progress which allowed me to get a better understanding of the modules. I loved collaborating with classmates and giving feedback to one another, which felt like I was part of the community."

"Having the ability to study the Bachelor of Interior Design online has given me the flexibility to return to university as a mature age student while continuing to raise my children at home.
The online classes are always collaborative, engaging, and packed full of information that will equip me with the skills I need to successfully enter into the design industry once I graduate. My lecturers are all incredibly supportive, experts in their respective fields, and some of the most generous people I've met.
If you're considering online study, I highly recommend Collarts. They have everything you need to succeed."
“Applying to Collarts is one of the best things I have done. Being able to attend classes outside of business hours has given me the flexibility to continue working whilst undertaking the course.
Even though I'm based in Hobart, Tasmania, and studying 100% online, I still feel connected to the teachers and fellow students. There are plenty of opportunities to engage in discussions and activities even from a distance.
If you're looking to study in a creative industry with a course that gives you the flexibility to have a study/work/life balance and interact with teachers who have real industry experience, I can't recommend Collarts enough!”
