The facilities are second to none and it is a fantastic place to develop the skill set needed to work in this industry. The opportunities to perform in real world environments and the trips to working studios are a great insight into the industry. The student support services all left around Christmas. I was in a time of need and I was going to apply for extenuating circumstances but there was no one to discuss this with or ask for support. My tutors were there but it’s not their job to provide support services. I ended up just putting myself under immense stress and this lead to burnout.

I have enjoyed all of the modules and they have been well thought out with a clear progression through the modules with a lot of modules setting you up for the next ones. We don’t get a lot of time to have one to one sessions with the tutors. There is usually one per semester. Although I have asked for one before the proposed time for this meeting and Matt was happy to arrange it with me.

I really like the family sense at dBs. I walk in at the campus and there is always people to chat with, collaborate and share a nice time in general. I feel more bookable time on the main studios would be ideal during the week. As there are lessons is hard to get time in them in the middle of the week. More spaces like studio 3 would be a dream!

Teaching is great overall. I really like how the practical lessons are taught, how passionate these lecturers are. I don’t like very much the amount of lecture hours we have. I would at least add one or two hours more to the more practical assignments
