MACS is more than media
A different way of seeing the world.
Andrew Gunadie, AKA Gunnarolla, shares his experiences as a FIMS student who graduated all the way back in 2007. MACS is what you make it, and Andrew took full advantage.
In MACS, you'll explore topics from many different angles, build skills in critical thinking, research and communication, and choose hands-on electives where you can create media, too. Be part of a community that questions, creates and shapes what comes next.
