Fine art, Glasgow School of Art

Go for it, you won't find a better a better arts atmosphere anywhere in the uk

My fault for picking the course. Basically paying for a piece of paper. Good course for the super privileged who essentially are already artists before starting the course, good for meeting interesting people too. Not a good course for people who have a conscience.

Only get tutor time once or twice a semester with a single class critique during that time as well. If you are interested in Printmaking you wont be able to use those facilities until second year. If you are interested in Painting you better know how to do it already since no one is going to teach you any techniques or how to improve your skills. Since the tutors are never present there is no one to see your work and help you improve it as you are working on it. All of your time is used for "studio practice" which means sitting alone in your studio space making as much work as possible and hoping you get a good grade at the end of the year.

There's not much offered in terms of workshops etc, and the workshops that are compulsory are expensive. I applied here after dreaming of going to this school and am severely disappointed. The class mates are fantastic but the studio spaces are laughable at best, not worth the time.

Teachers are lovely but the running of the course is worse than anything I’ve ever seen
