Art and design degrees in South East England

What makes my uni a great place to study is their student support. They try to help their students in any way possible to ensure that students get the best out of their education. I think it would be better if the university put more effort into societies and clubs such as sporting clubs and teams . It would help the university to have more of a community and really showcase other talents other than what students already study on their courses. My university do have societies and some sporting teams, however some of the societies don’t run anymore and it’s not made to be as big as it was when I first heard about it before I joined uni. I think it’s important to have that feel of community and university culture and to also show the inclusiveness of different cultures, groups and activities in which people associate them selves with.

My favorite thing about Rave is how industry focused we are. Translating our work into the real world is discussed very often. We get talks from guests who have tons of insight and our tutors are also knowledgeable. In terms of improvement, Rave is lacking in the student life area. There are not many active societies and it can be difficult to meet people or create student lead events.

My worst experience has been with my transfer to CCCU from another uni. It took weeks to get my timetable and on blackboard therefore I had no access to class resources. As well as sorting out my finances with the accounts teams. However my best experience had been the Students who have helped me when I have been having technical issues.

One of the best parts of studying at Roehampton University is the friendly and supportive environment. The lecturers explain topics clearly and are always willing to help when students have questions. The campus is peaceful, with good facilities like the library, study rooms, and social spaces, which makes it a comfortable place to learn. I also enjoy meeting classmates from different countries and backgrounds because it helps me learn new ideas and understand different cultures. The teaching style at Roehampton makes learning easier and more enjoyable. Seminars and group activities help me understand the lessons better, and the coursework is practical, helping me connect what I learn to real-life situations. I feel that the university encourages students to think independently and build confidence. Overall, I feel supported in my studies, and this has helped me grow both academically and personally. Even though my experience has been positive, there are some areas that could improve. Sometimes the workload feels heavy, especially when deadlines are close together. Communication about certain tasks or readings can be unclear at times. More career support, part-time job opportunities, and more flexible timetables would also make things easier for students. However, these challenges are common in most universities, and Roehampton still offers a good overall student experience.

I absolutely love training at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. There is no place like it. Every student is warm and welcoming as soon as you walk up those famous steps. You will not regret joining the community we have at RCSSD. Once you've completed your studies you will be at the forefront of the industry and employers will want to snap you up as soon as you leave. You will forever be respected and be one of the most highly skilled personnel in your new work space, as you would have learnt so much about your craft as well as grown as a person.

London is a multicultural society. Students from different countries come here to study. So studying in London met makes me experience different cultures heritage and new languages. I love studying in London met and the teaching staff is helpful and friendly.

All staff in university is eager to help you with any kind of questions or problems. At lectures teachers are really engaging and supportive. You never notice how quick time flies during lectures. Especially, before any assignments you are given every detail about it, so you are well prepared and not scared at all. Birkbeck suggests a lot of opportunities for busy social life, where you can meet lots of enthusiastic people, and opportunities for future career such as additional workshops, professional guests, etc. I love being a part of this community!

I have felt extremely supported throughout my experience so far. The teachers are lovely and approachable individuals who have first hand knowledge and years of experience in my subject. We have been given practical sessions to prepare us for going out into placements and the timetable makes balancing university and our outside life extremely manageable. The teachers are all very understanding and supportive of parents studying on the course and the university even have a breastfeeding room to support mothers which is fantastic. There are numerous clubs and activities going on each day so there are plenty of opportunities to learn a new skill, keep fit, and make friends. Providing a coach to attend lessons at Stone X stadium is also highly beneficial and convenient for us students that have to go there regularly. On the other hand, I will say improvements can be made in their application and interview process as it felt slightly unorganised and I had to message them a few times to keep updated on my application status. It would be much better if they actually sent communications to us applicants to inform us if we have an interview or have been accepted into the university as I often felt forgotten about during this process and it seemed as though they would only ever progress my application once I messaged them. Fortunately, now that I have been accepted, they keep me very regularly updated on what is going on in the university.

The campus is beautiful and the location is very appealing. The best aspect of my uni experience is the study abroad programme where uni gave me the opportunity to go to other countries I never thought I’d go to and experience their culture, norms, values and of course try to new traditional food. This helped me grow in confidence as it push me out of my comfort zone. Uni could be improved if it had more work experience opportunities related to the degree I am studying
