THE ADERG DIRECTORY HAS A NEW LOOK
‘GRADUATE SHOWCASES – FIND-A-COURSE – COURSE INFO LINKS
In line with our recently announced plans to discontinue the ADERG Directory in its current format, its replacement is the new online combo WHERE TO STUDY index of all universities and colleges offering Creative Arts.
The updated index incorporates links to the landing page of all of the listed Australian universities and colleges as well as:
• GRADUATE SHOWCASES for selected institutions. Inspirational images of graduate work.
• FIND-A-COURSE. links to institution websites for course information for every Graduate Showcase.
• GRADUATE SHOWCASE social media links. Follow the postings of your choice.
WHY THE CHANGE?
Put simply, the universities and colleges have worked hard to compile the most comprehensive course details, making course selection easy. We aggregate the possibilities and, as in the past, put it all in one place. You don’t need to hunt around.
