I studied Fashion and Photography at Carmarthen School of Art (Coleg Sir Gâr), and both courses were fantastic. There’s easy access to all the equipment you might need, and the support from tutors is incredible. They constantly push you to go deeper with your ideas and achieve the best possible results in your projects.

One of the biggest advantages of studying here is that it’s not a large institution, which creates a close-knit, family-like atmosphere. You get more one-on-one time with tutors, and there’s a strong art community that really supports each other. This environment helps students develop powerful, personal projects and makes it a very comfortable and inspiring place to study.

I can't recommend the BA Photography at Carmarthen School of Art, Coleg Sir Gâr, highly enough. The teaching, which combines practical knowhow with art history, philosophy and cultural context, is first class. The tutors are knowledgable, inspiring, thoughtful and caring and provide a wonderfully encouraging and safe space for students to flourish into confident, accomplished photographers. The enterprise element of the course provides a good opportunity to develop the commercial side of the student's practice, setting them up to hit the ground running when they leave. Support continues after graduation with a strong alumni and Graduate Resident programme. I studied at Carmarthen School of Art as a mature student and graduated with First Class Honours. I can honestly say it was one of the best things I've done in my life. I feel so lucky to have been able to attend such a fantastic degree programme on my doorstep in West Wales!

The college provided an excellent level of contact with the lecturers and the course leader was always on hand to answer questions and give support and feedback. Taught time and the amount of assessments in the first and second years is high which makes you work hard but the results show in the third year when you focus on your own practice.
