Though there are some workshops, I would like there to be optional classes you can take on specific things that might help an illustrator. Perhaps anatomy classes, stylisation, drawing settings, perspective etc. I think the couse is great value for money and they encourage you to use the brilliant variety of resources on campus read more

Lectured have been informative and varied, ranging from thoughts on industry to illustration principles. Course leaders always aim to push students and broaden horizons which is something I appreciate and have a good mix of lessons on theory and practical making. read more

Photography, BA Hons FullTime
Tutors are rather proactive with encouraging us to enter photography competitions and as well as having portfolio reviews with industry professionals. They let us know if they have people looking for photographers, plus weekly guest talks! So there are some great industry links. The content is great - a mix of practical and academic. I would say the writing part is very minimal though read more

The foundation course is very half asked, makes it sound like we are doing a lot but no real expiration of media very low quality for a uni, definitely not worth any of the money. The resources are also poor, no clay working, no screen printing, instead we use polystyrene and potato’s. read more
