Design studies, Lancaster University

Absolutely loved my degree, gained a huge number of skills and learnt about all different areas of marketing and design, a very practical course that can be tailored to your own interests. I got an amazing grad job in branding for a top 100 company and a first class honours degree - I believe this is largely due to the engaging content and fantastic staff support given to the students

I love studying this dual degree of marketing and design because it allows me to combine practicality with creativity, which is something I'd like to continue in my future career as well. The marketing side of it is somewhat disorganised this year as they were implementing some new modules, but other than that, the course is great.

Love my course, it's my passion!

I can only complain about my design lecturer, he doesn't make the lectures interesting at all, plus the course requires no drawing skills whatsoever thus far,which I honestly love

overall its good but certain lecturers are not

Marketing side of the degree is the most demanding content wise, but both have a lot of creative group assessments and individual assignments to test everyones ability.

Design was better than marketing. Marketing is too theory lead, so people could graduate with a 2:1 or higher and still not be confident they could actually be a marketer... as they've had no experience of it during the course.
