What students say about painting-art

The support Brighton Uni has given me so much support with this course and made it very clear who to contact if any issues arise. I also know from friends how incredibly supportive and sympathetic the uni has been when they have experienced personal issues. This is my second Uni I have studied at, and Brighton is far better with the support it gives its students compared to the first one.

What students say about painting-art

I wish we had more access to facilities for the others degrees. I wish graphic design had more space for equipment. I wish the printer in the B block belonged to graphic design we are the only ones who use it but when it runs out of paper it doesn’t get filled. I wish we had access to the facilities at the other colleges. I wish someone explained the American education system and classes structure to be before I went on exchange to FIT NYC so I could choose my classes with more certainty. But love UAL! Good tutors and industry links.

What students say about painting-art

The facilities are amazing and the staff are extremely helpful. The building itself is really nice and doesn’t feel overwhelming. The only negative thing I would have to say is that unlike other universities I feel like the opportunities to do clubs outside of the institution are limited so if you are trying to make friends outside of your course it can be a bit difficult. However everything else is amazing. The food in the cafeteria is affordable and gets rotated every week so there is always something different and material cost aren’t to bad, in my opinion I feel they could be a bit cheaper however if you can budget properly then it isn’t to bad I just think that every student should be allowed an allowance given by the institution so they can afford materials. Overall my experience at the university so far has been amazing and I have learnt and refined a lot of my skills.
