Clarence Raphael – Study Abroad Experience at Taylor’s University

“Spending a semester at Taylor’s University in Malaysia changed the way I think about creativity and business. As a Digital Business student taking Creative Media, I had always associated design mainly with aesthetics. Through this experience, I began to see that design also requires an understanding of the audience, the market, and the wider goals of a business. The academic environment encouraged me to question my assumptions and think more strategically about creative work. I learned that an idea becomes more relevant when it is not only visually appealing, but also purposeful and responsive to real needs.

Studying abroad also taught me that global competence is not simply about what we know. It is about being willing to adapt, learn from people with different perspectives, and contribute confidently in a new environment.”
