Music degrees in North West England

It's a good place for study, but it doesn't have the "uni life" aspects of it so don't expect that. It has good support for student and free counselling. You'll get a more hands on tutoring in smaller classes and it can be really fun. Some of the newer tutors right now are bringing the experience for me down a bit but hopefully that will be improved.

LIPA is a prestigious institution with a lovely feel in both the building and between students. The staff on the Applied Theatre and Community Drama course are excellent and mainly still practicing facilitators and directors in the field. So gaining their knowledge has been very useful to my practice. However, I have always felt a sense of frustration within the institution as lectures have professional experience but seem to lack teacher training. I never felt prepared for written work as criteria wasn’t broken down or explained. All staff on the course within my third year are part time which has been a challenge when trying to contact or ask for support. Unfortunately, Applied Theatre is no longer being taught at LIPA therefore, concerns me and my cohort have raised regarding the organisation and the teaching don’t seem to have been taken seriously. I believe that every course should have at least one full time member of staff. And I also think that the student voice at LIPA (who are mainly full time students) should not be solely responsible for student queries. More members of staff in this area should be present and around with office doors open and accessible to all.

It is a great place to study because its in a big city. Liverpool is very diverse interms of people food and culture. The student support is good and the website is very user friendly for anything one might be looking for. In terms of improvement, it think the university could offer more opportunities for partime jobs to international students

honestly the classes are amazing, very clear why we are learning the topic and for what outcome. i enjoy my studies very much. i think the applications for students can be improved, the fact we cannot print by ourselves is bit ridiculous as we are literally a film school and the info hub only prints till 5pm when classes are till 7pm
