What students say about graphic-design

Studying at the University of Gloucestershire was the best choice I made to improve my career. Being an international student, I anticipated a great number of changes as a new entrant into the UK, but the truth is that my school has made it so easy for me to settle in and adapt to everything. From my first day in school at the Oxstalls campus, I met friendly faces and super helpful staff and had no difficulties navigating the campus. Systems and processes are seamless, the technology is pretty impressive, and the business school is just so beautiful and modern. There are groups and clubs for literally everything you can think of, and the student union did go the extra mile to make us feel welcome with a lot of programs and presents. Our lecturers are great as well, and the classes are more like intellectual exchange than 'just teaching'. This makes it easy to assimilate knowledge and look forward to learning which is one challenge I especially thought I'd go through, having been out of school for over 10 years. It's as if I never left, everything just blends in beautifully. The one thing I'd suggest an improvement on is communication between certain offices and the students. For instance in the event of cancellation of a scheduled program it would be helpful if the students were informed beforehand as some do come from quite a distance. Other than this minor ish which isn't really a big deal by the way, the University of Gloucestershire is the educational stuff of dreams and I'll really encourage folks especially international students to go for it. I do not regret coming here. It's been the most amazing experience so far.

What students say about graphic-design

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.

What students say about graphic-design

The student village is so close to the main campus. The campus is very nuclear, and you never have to walk more than about 5-10 minutes to get to your next lecture. There are so many different cafes on campus. It's so close to the sea and the city centre. Really good transport routes- close to buses and the train station. The facilities are really modern, especially for healthcare. There's loads of support in place for students both emotionally and academically. To improve I would say maybe more tutorials earlier on in the year wth personal tutors, and perhaps society events in the first couple weeks that are alcohol free and not at night.

What students say about graphic-design

A Transformative Journey into Interior Design Excellence As a student of the Masters in Interior Design program at Arts University Bournemouth (AUB), I can confidently say that my experience surpassed all expectations. From the moment I started this degree, I was enveloped in a culture of creativity, innovation, and collaboration.The faculty members are not only accomplished professionals in the field but also passionate mentors dedicated to nurturing each student's unique talents. Their guidance, coupled with state-of-the-art facilities and resources, provided the perfect environment for exploration and growth.One of the program's greatest strengths is its emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration. Working alongside students from various backgrounds allowed me to gain new perspectives and develop a holistic approach to design. Whether it was conceptualizing sustainable spaces or integrating cutting-edge technology, every project pushed the boundaries of creativity while instilling a sense of responsibility towards the environment and society.Moreover, the program's industry connections are unparalleled. Through guest lectures, workshops, and industry placements, I had the opportunity to learn from and network with leading professionals, gaining invaluable insights into the real-world applications of interior design.The culmination of my journey will be the master thesis, where I hope to have the freedom to explore my passions and create a worthy reasearch. The support and encouragement I have received so far from both faculty and peers throughout this time were instrumental in shaping my vision and refining my skills.In conclusion, the Masters in Interior Design program at AUB is more than just an academic pursuit – it's a transformative journey that equips students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive in the competitive world of interior design. Whether you're a seasoned professional looking to elevate your practice or a budding designer eager to make your mark, AUB provides the perfect platform for realizing your ambitions. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone passionate about the intersection of art, architecture, innovation and education.

Arts university plymouth is a great university with amazing facilities and opportunities to learn whatever you like with workshops, i do with the student union was more established and maybe hosted more events inside and outside the university, the campus is very modern but some parts are a little dated but not necessarily in a bad way. student life is good were given the opportunity to mix with other courses which is cool but again just wish there was more events that were maybe more appealing to people to attend.

I am allergic to Costa Coffee so perhaps more coffee more sometimes around the campus maybe one of each floor cost? Students union website is confusing. Could not find much to do, even gym and student union events/activities student support could be better. the emails could be more shared around
