It has a really good atmosphere and look on the inside and outside. I study at the Northbrook campus and the staff are lovely. I will say the campus I'm at, the location is not the best as it's on the outskirts of Worthing so it's a little annoying to get to. All staff at the campus have been lovely and helpful. Personally for costume our rooms are a little unpleasant and shoddy but it has a nice feel for us. It has lots of facilities, many rooms for what you need - I know photography have quite a bit. We have a fairly big canteen, a little shop with snacks and sweets and the staff that work there are also lovely. In the other campuses I'm not sure as I haven't been to them yet but if the Northbrook has all this I'm sure the rest will.

In my course the teachers are all loving and really funny but will also be serious when you need them to be. We work a lot with other courses especially actors and hair and make up. We just finished a collaborative project and it turned out amazing. We are small but our course has a lot to show you. We go into illustration, professional and accurate pattern cutting, tailoring, collaboration and so much more. We also have a big fabric store filled with fabric as well as lots in are main working room. We have lots of course hours but not too much to overwhelm you. I think most of the time all years are in 3 days a week. Because we are small we get lots of contact hours to talk to teachers.

I came to Northbrook having had very bad experiences elsewhere. However, even if I had not had such experiences, northbrook would still have stood head and shoulders above any educational experience I have had. There was an environment of mutual respect and the unfaltering mission of our lecturers was to enable us to succeed and excel!

A mac for every student with Sibelius, Logic, East West sample libraries, midi keyboards etc. The Library really stands out though as it is like a fantastic treasure trove with a huge hoard of books on pretty much any aspect of music you care to mention! I became interested in and was able to think and learn about music in ways I did not know existed.

Seperate student support was not needed for me even though I have a learning disability as the lecturers are real human beings rather than distant or unapproacheable as I have encountered elsewhere.

Never needed to use them

This is the real stand out part for me. I did the Music Composition for Film and Media Degree top-up. The lecturers were extremely good. Highly skilled, qualified, real world professionals who have a wealth of knowledge and experience. This they shared with us openly and without hesitation. From composition to production, business to promotion, everything was covered on this course. I only wish I had done my foundation years here! The lecturers went out of their way to enrich us both personally and professionally. We were supported, engaged, enriched, encouraged and enabled to take our work to ever higher levels. Stimulating, meaningful and inspiring debates about all aspects music touches on (film scores and scoring, production, composition, history, anthropology, ethnography, philosophy, science, culture, psychology and political, historical and religious influences on music). I came here having done poorly at school where study was basic, shallow and limited and left with a first class honours degree!

We had an entire module on enterprise and career development which was extremely useful. We were taught about networking, self promotion, pitching, maximising our web presence and how to present ourselves professionally. At the time of graduating we all had websites which we had designed and built. As budding freelance composers the skills, knowledge and expertise shared with us on this course are invaluable and allowed us to leave as far better composers than when we arrived. As well as learning about the conventions of music in different applications we were very much encouraged to develop our own personal compositional style and individual voice. All this helps you to become more marketable and take control of your own career.

Worthing is cheaper than Brighton which is very close and £5.90 return on the train.
