Good prospects, can sometimes seem a little easy content-wise but the workload is pretty major! Great that we don't have exams but the coursework instead is all year round - take that into consideration as it can feel slightly never-ending. Really friendly lecturers though and a lot of freedom in studying your specific interests which is good. read more

Interesting course, covers lots of different specialisms in both art & design. You are not forced to specialise to a specific area and you can have lots of variation from your module choices. Teaching is overall of an okay standard and the technicians are really helpful. The studio spaces and technician rooms are good spaces to work in. read more
