Start Your Creative Journey
The Wild is an education experience designed and built from the ground up by Foundry. This is how your creative journey starts and is the education break you need to help you choose your next step.
This is your chance to learn foundational skills and taste test what each creative discipline has to offer you - Graphic Design, User Experience, Interior Design, Photography, Advertising and Social Media.
A New Way To Learn
The perfect balance between a gap-year and committing to a multi-year qualification, designed to help you explore different creative disciplines before selecting your ultimate career path.
Delivered fully online, The Wild is based around a light course load to encourage you to explore, find your passions and focus on yourself and those around you.

Industry Profile
Andrew Hochradel is your industry tutor for the Graphic Design unit.
He's a brand identity designer from the US who uses his unique perspective to create visual systems and branding that is sustainable, innovative, and engaging. Beyond his extensive experience and portfolio of work, he is also a regular presenter and mentor for Adobe, meaning there are few people going around more qualified to teach you Illustrator.
Set Yourself Up For Success
Statistics show us that even before a global pandemic, 20% of all Australian students drop out of their studies within the first year. This is largely because courses are not what was expected and study loads are too big of a shock to the system.
The Wild is designed to give you a glimpse into your future without needing to gamble tens of thousands of dollars in student debt on a course you hope you will like. Get a feel for your options, find your place and then make a commitment to further study with confidence.
