Jess Wong
BA (Hons) Advertising and Design 2013
Personal recommendation and an excellent choice of courses led Jia Li (Jess) Wong to travel to Sunderland to study advertising and design.
Jess, who now works as a copywriter at Leo Burnett in Kuala Lumpur, explained her time at the University of Sunderland gave her a refreshing perspective on learning that helps her daily in her career.
She said: "I'd always wanted to experience life abroad because I believe in pushing myself out of my comfort zone and I thought being exposed to different cultures would open my mind and help me become a better learner.
"There's such a friendly, supportive environment at the University of Sunderland and the course I did has definitely helped to shape my thinking, which is an indispensable skill in my day-to-day role as an advertising creative."
