UAL is a good university. I have enjoyed my time here so far. I wish that there was more time to balance my working life outside of uni as it is extremely difficult to have uji 4-5 days a week, go to work, do my uni work, etc

Great uni for studying anything in the arts. Facilities are amazing and each have specialised staff you can ask guidance for. Only thing I have to complain about is the lack of diversity in the teaching body and that discussions outside the 'norm' I.e. White perspectives are difficult for the staff to wrap their heads around. Would like to connect with my tutors but often times they only really connect with the other white students.

UAL handled as best as possible the pandemic situation. The online education was well planned and I managed to learn a lot even if I was situated in another country. It offers all kinds of workshops and technicians that enabled me explore my course and my preferences and to expand my knowledge, my thinking, my working process. One can find anything as long as they search, UAL offers it all. The international experience is totally amazing, and allows us to create bonds between many cultures, nationalities and languages.

The uni is generally good, apart from most of the time you won't actually be doing anything about your course and your teachers won't have a clue on what to do. This is my second year and it's February at the moment and I haven't done anything on my actual subject this year as it starts in April. Wait so I'm in for a whole year but my course is only 2 months long and instead I'm doing random other subjects to make the uni look good? Not worth 10,000.

BA Illustration at UAL’s Camberwell campus has been a huge disappointment. We pay the same fee as other uni students, yet we literally do not have classes, and there have been multiple weeks (not breaks) where we didn’t have any lectures or things to do, thus they are essentially NOT TEACHING us anything! I haven’t acquired any new knowledge from attending this course. The whole course feels like a huge scam, and the atmosphere is extremely unprofessional and chaotic. We do not have access to any of the printing or other facilities on our own and what they call our ‘studio’ is so small and uncomfortable and with no storage space (!) that one cannot work there. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COURSE OR UAL IN GENERAL TO ANYONE.

I studied at Cordwainers at London College of Fashion before the campus moved. I don't think the Footwear course is value for money and having been out in industry I don't think they teach you anything like the level of design skill and construction knowledge to justify the fees (and it was cheaper then). This course will prepare you to work in a fast-fashion retailer or high-end fashion brand if you're lucky and do lot's of interning off your own back. I wish I had done a more generalised product design degree as I think the design education is much more rigorous. It's not like they teach you anything about fashion history or context anyway. Do a product design course and do a footwear short course if you think you want to go into footwear, at least then you give yourself options. I also had a hard time with some of the admin staff when my shoe was featured in an industry project and the partner lost the shoe, they were completely rude to me and the whole thing was handled badly

Pretty good libraries and a good variety of clubs. A lot of hypocrisy in terms of sustainability however, when the university wants to destroy a shopping center to build a new campus when the one they have clearly still functions.

menswear at lcf is a joke to begin with in the first year. Since September we have barley done anything. You would think that on a design class you would get taught about design. Instead they expect you to come in for a 9:30 till 17:30 session where you are basically left on your own until a tutor comes round and basically doesn't tell you that much and the talk lasts 20 mins at the most. If you are going on this design course and expect to get taught design you are wrong. Instead they are pushing for a artistic approach which is just boring and doesn't have that much to do with design.

My project was said to be too difficult to understand while the exhibition had a student who put a video of GTA 5 with a voice-over, that was considered art. Be aware this is not a facility to think different and explore ideas in because the tutors will not understand it.

Went to LCC for both Foundation and Graphic Design (so 4 years in total). Can not believe that this university is ranked 2nd in the world this year for art and design! The teachers barely knew us as the class sizes were too overcrowded so there was little support and most of us felt anonymous. I guess it has good (overrated) reputation in the industry but I personally had such little career support at the uni, so I'm lucky if I can even get into the industry without vital networking and skill building. The grading requirement system is very poor as I know students that clearly cheated for their projects and it was not flagged up (they still passed).

Wimbledon is falling apart. There are holes in the ceiling. Daylight can be seen through holes in the plaster in the canteen. Awkward to get to from central London. Nothing particularly interesting in the local area.

Lime grove is confusing and rooms are literally always booked when you need it. They don’t have much equipment so it’s hard to go there to do projects the cafeteria is extremely expensive for not that great of food. the food is usually cold especially jacket potatoes that they don’t even serve with cheese just lettuce. With the internet, you can only sign up one device which is useless when you have possibly a laptop and a phone or ipad.

It is a massive uni, but not campus uni---you needs to be super motivated to find your own opportunities--otherwise school itself is only good because of its reputation and the location.

This uni is a joke. I can't wait to leave it. There are two goods tutors on my course, others are a complete joke. Course requirements are usually very unclear, marking system is really confusing. Lectures are a total joke, they expect you to do everything on your own, no supervision whatsoever. Avoid by all means.

Briefly.. I am from Amman, Jordan. When I decided to apply for the UAL, they welcomed and treated me in a good way with quick responses to my e-mail and I applied and I paid the tuition for a short course for the summer course of 2017, they sent me the confirmation. After I got the confirmation and all the papers from the university I applied for the UK embassy to get the Visa but its been rejected TWICE. The UK Embassy told me that they phoned the University to check about the confirmation and that I applied and paid the tuition but the UAL reply was: No, he is not a student at our university. The time passed and I couldn't apply again because the course would start in few days as the Visa takes from 2 to 3 weeks to be done. Anyways, I sent the UAL an email to get a refund because of the rejected Visas and to get my money back, their emails responses were so slow and they rejected to refund me as I sent them all the papers and the proofs that I applied TWICE.

Didn't enjoy my time here and ended up withdrawing. It was a while back now, went to Wimbledon, apart from being on the wrong course, it was poorly structured, teachers were never in and nobody hardly turned up, snobby lazy, environment. Only got thing was admin support staff and the ual society. Worst time ever

The worst thing about my uni is how little information is really easily accessible. I am second year and have no idea how to access any support or facilities despite this last year. When I ask people, everyone seems very unorganised and unprofessional. Good university status but honestly, I feel I get taught to a far less extent to most other unis.

I go to Chelsea and love love love it here. All of my other UAL friends that go to other uni's and visited have commented on how lovely the whole place is. It's so homey and comfortable and welcoming in a lot of ways. It being next to the Tate and a 20 minute walk from southbank is also a massive +. UAL as an entity is good also; the scale of it means that it's got really good facilities between all the campuses. using CSM library is a dream!
