Riba approved, many great tutors. Ive had the pleasure to know Martin Pearce. Studio spaces are have great potential, its up to each student how they use it. Great on site art shop. Weekly “PASS†guest lectures allowed me to broaden my networking. On site creative careers help you get your experience, placement year, cv, portfolio, interview techniques sorted. On site workshop has everything you need and improves all the time! Always helpful and knowledgeable staff. Brilliant software learning opportunities. Reviews work well. Course stayed on track online after covid. Fast response. Great online resources. Architecture allocated librarians and library resources. Great computers and cheap printing on site (in eldon only). Creative environment. Im in 2nd year, loving every minute of it. Dont let people fool you, its not that hard! read more
