PJCAD enjoys an impressive record in producing students that win awards in competitions and achieve notable success in the design industry locally and abroad. The high standards of PJCAD’s students are reflected in the many awards they win.

The standard of our student work here is comparable to that at many universities overseas. Our partner universities in the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia accept our diploma students into the final year of their degree programs. That says a lot about the quality we achieve. And we are constantly improving, looking for ways to help our students get better. We don’t look to being the biggest, just the best.
