The campus is easy to navigate, with a lot of amenities and places to go to study, eat, and chill out

The course is good, with a lot of content, however the projects felt like they were started later than they could have been, with less time that would have been beneficial

Leeds Beckett is situated in a great location. Firstly city campus is situated around 10-15 minutes walk from the city centre meaning if you are in first year student halls this is very convenient as many of them are right in the city. Furthermore if you are at Headingley campus you able to hop on the free shuttle to the city centre or if your living in the Carnegie halls, then this is right on your doorstep. Otherwise you are 10 minutes walk from Headingley centre and around 20-25 minutes from Hyde Park which is where many 2nd year and 3rd year students live in student houses. Leeds Beckett has a variety of courses and a great selection of staff on each course, meaning you interact with different lecturers and leaders. Moreover, the societies and student events mean socialising is encouraged and can lead you to make unforgettable memories and lifelong friends. I would say this is probably the best uni for someone to attend due to the close knit community that is created by Leeds Beckett and its location as it is an easy city to find your way round and it very quickly becomes a home away from home that you will be sad to leave.

I think that this course is extremely useful for someone wanting to dip into the world of fashion and marketing as it provides you with the necessary skills and knowledge to do so. However, the course does lack on the in person teaching on specific programmes such as adobe as I didn't feel there was enough focus on each programme in detail. There is also a lot of technical skills involved in this course so many students did struggle with keeping up with students who had previously used cameras and adobe programmes before. The course is all taught in person and there are no online lectures which is good as it encourages students to get up and on with their day and interact with others in person rather than avoiding picking up their laptop to view their online lecture via Teams. All of the lecturers are extremely helpful in aiding learning and all have encouraged 1-1 appointments if students need additional help. This course is not useful to someone not interested in the fashion industry who just wants marketing skills as they should select to study ba hons marketing.

These uni halls are amazing for the facilities as the rooms are all neat and clean with en suite bathrooms and minimal decor allowing students to completely tailor their room to themselves. The kitchens are open plan and are a good size with a tv, sofa and plenty of cupboard space. The majority of the flats are 4 person flats which can be difficult for making friends as you are limited to meeting a small number of people and I do think that it is better to be in a flat with around 6 people in order to maximise the amount of people you can get to know in the beginning. However upon applying for this accommodation I was able to select who I wanted to be in a flat with by reading personal bios that students had already selected their flat's had written. This way you can see if there are students on your course who were in these flats or students with similar interests to you. This accommodation is around 20 minutes walk to the city and around 30 minutes walk from the city campus meaning it is further than other accommodations but still accessible. However, there is also a bus stop right outside taking you to both Headingley campus and the city centre by city campus which is around 10 minutes. Marsden has a false repuation for being loud and 'wild', however I did not have this experience and anyone I know who lived here loved their experience. The safety provided with two security officers day and night means you can be assured no one without their key can get into the accommodation and if needed the security can quickly access the halls. There is also around 4 staff members at the desk throughout the day keeping postage safe and providing you with any information you may need. The washing machines are in a room in the courtyard are easy to use and are all accessed via an app.
