Animation, BA Hons FullTime
It was not what I expected as most of the things we’re being thought are basically tutorials off YouTube. There should be more of practical animation skills. read more

Photography, BA Hons FullTime
The course is interesting and engaging, however, some compulsory modules are less so. The history of photography is important, yet when taught the same using just powerpoint presentations, it was pretty boring and so I do not think I learnt as much as I could have in that module as I was not interested or motivated at all. Great facilities and the Mac you receive is amazing and so useful. read more

Lack of technology, software, scheduled time, staff and more on this course unfortunately. Everything is focused around coursework projects from 2nd year onwards, which means barely any technical knowledge is taught (plumbing, regulations, lighting, accessibility, general knowledge of the subject, etc). This could be due to the fact we only have 2 studio sessions a week (8 hours a week with our lecturers/tutors for 30-40 students isn’t enough). Staff have a good knowledge of the industry, but aren't teaching enough of it. We are expected to teach ourselves everything it feels like read more

Everything i learned was from my own research and from online sources. The only thing the university taught me was to be resourceful. I got more guidance and knowledge in my one year of placement than my 3 years of courses. It is very designer based and they do not offer proper guidance or course tailored towards other areas outside design. As a person interested in fashion construction and pattern cutting i did not get any useful skills like textiles or construction. As an international student i did not receive student finance so i had to work full time along my course in order to support myself which sometimes meant i had to miss time at the studio. Having my own studio at home I was able to work on my projects at home after work. There is only one tutor Rebecca that understood my difficulties and helped me and offered me her time to support me. She always made sure to upload recording to the student app so I can catch up in my own time. Other tutors acted like i’m lazy and turned. read more

awful just awful. the professors have no clue about organisation and are absent and difficult to get a hold of all the time, especially via email. we got stood up on 4 lessons by one of the lecturers. and everyone in the class just puts up with it and doesn't raise their voice. i feel like i'm stuck with sheeple haha. go do an apprenticeship somewhere. not worth it. read more

It is very difficult to put this into a short paragraph when it begins from my first day of uni, until my final year and final day of uni. For students looking to do fashion design at Coventry university, let me say DO NOT DO IT, you want to study fashion? try going abroad to parsons, or studying at Central Saint Martins, London college of fashion ORRR get an apprenticeship!!! DO NOT STUDY FASHION AT COVENTRY UNIVERSITY unless you want to fail or be miserable! THE TEACHERS are the worst I have ever seen! They show favouritism towards students, especially if those students are white, if you are black, Asian or even worse muslim, then I am so sorry, but this is not the place for you. It's full of white teachers who are racist, and hate BAME students. I have factual evidence of this, The course is not well structured at all, you do not receive any help, everything I have learnt, and other students have learn was all SELF TAUGHT. They can't be bothered to help you. WASTE OF MONEY read more
