The facilities and teaching staff at Northumbria are second to none. They have state of the art making spaces with studios dedicated to crafts such as screen printing, letterpress, bookbinding, photography etc. Staff really encourage you to develop a creative way of thinking and working as well as teaching the more technical side of software and making processes. The uni also has the TRC which allows students to loan equipment such as cameras, drawing tablets, and really specialist resources. Would highly recommend this course.

Well Graphic Design at Northumbria may be highly rated but it's not a place you should come to learn. It's more of a b***** battle in a playground than a learning environment. Open Days really help to sell this course but in reality it's nothing to what they sell you so I'd recommend looking at another university or course. read more
