I had such a lovely experience at this university, the lecturers and technicians are always there to help you! The facilities are brilliant with industry-standard equipment and plenty of space to work in and around studio spaces! I would recommend this uni for any creative like me!

The course is set out well and enables you to try out lots of techniques within workshops. I found these really helpful as I was able to find what I would like to specialise in when I leave for employment.

The uni halls were great for socialising and making friends, the rooms are spacious and have plenty of light. A bonus to the accommodation was the use of the free washing machine, which is not like other halls, where you would have to pay each time to wash your clothes. However, the location of the halls is not as appealing because of the industrial buildings around that area that are a bit loud but it is close to both university buildings.

I came to this uni in 2nd year as a direct entry student and it was the best decision I ever made! My education, skills and knowledge really progressed since transferring and it is such a welcoming, friendly and creative environment.

So the course was amazing!!! I am currently studying my masters and there is no way I would have gotten here without the help of the tutors and technicians, they filled me with the strength, dedication and confidence I needed to pursue my future. The course is tough, as is any other university course, you have to work hard but, you really do reap the rewards from it. It’s an engaging and practical course, I was constantly learning new knowledge and skills whilst studying. The facilities for textiles are so good, screen printing, paper-based printing, tufting, embroidery, huge print beds, multiple heat-press’, fabric printing - you name it!!! The staff are 10/10. Nothing was too big or too bold of an idea, whatever you wanted to do they would help you achieve it. They challenged me constantly which for me, was a positive. Being pushed to create the highest standard of work I could possibly do has allowed me to progress onto other ventures. Contact time and tutorials are pretty much constant on this course. I found the tutors to be available most lessons if I needed to discuss my work or even chat about outside problems, they were always there to help and offer their advice. Thinking about work experience and career prospects again, it’s positive. During second we got given a whole list of companies to contact regarding work experience, granted it was covid and not many were taking anyone one but, it was still an option! In regards to career prospects there are so many things that you can move into from this course and the tutors do really informative lecturers regarding this. You also get the opportunity to visit New Designers to exhibit your work to industry.
