Had a lot of experience with live briefs so know what it’ll be like working with clients after university. However I feel that we haven’t been taught the basics of graphic design like technical things we’ll need to know when working in the industry. It’s very much focused on thinking innovatively which is useful but there are lots of other vital skills I’ll have to teach myself.

Friendly staff and very good location- could be slightly closer to uni but is close with all the other acclimations, town and a main supermarket which was great. The majority of the time when workers needed to check or fix something in your flat you would not be notified- I’ve known a number of people who have had workmen let themselves into their room without being told or even knocking.

Best parts - Access to equipment and variety of equipment available to photography students - lots of support from lecturers in group sessions and 1-1 sessions Worst parts - how the tech desk for equipment is run, sometimes your item isn’t available when it was booked out (and said it would be available that day)

Lovely building overall. Very expensive halls for students who don’t get the full maintenance loan. Location is based around an area that feels unsafe at night. The nearby roads have lots of dodgy and scary people as well as the Asda car park next door. The halls offers a lovely cinema room and gym which is a bonus as well as the study room and main lobby room

Mostly the course is back to normal. I very much thrive from being in university as much as possible and gaining a good work/life balance, and I believe the course is set up well for that should you wish to do it Weekly contact with tutors for design units for the majority of the year with in person tech sessions and guest speaker program

So far, the course has demonstrated a range of content and allowed me to experiment with photography. I think there is great support as well for my ideas. I only marked a one star for the placement and internships because nothing has been offered yet.

You get to learn a range of things from experience in placements, your own research and class content. The facilities are great, can feel a bit cramped depending on how many are in your class at uni. The teachers give time for individual feedback throughout your learning.

Idea base, workshops is too focus on the creative ideas generation, not much about skill level.

The best thing is it is near to town center and very close to the bus stop, 5 min walk. Worst things is it is exactly next to primer inn and a office building which from my room I can see people working on the computer. The is no such things as view as all I see is the office and the meeting room in front of my window.

There is a good mixture of onsite learning and online time. Where in-class time is spent with tutors and more personal to the specific subject areas and the larger lectures involving all subjects are held online.
