What students say about photography

The campus is easily accessible by bus and also offers a car park, getting to campus is so easy and convenient and the area is a lot quieter as it’s not central, they offer an app where you can earn points when you buy from the food places in the uni the points turn into money which u can then spend, the thing I found the hardest was getting around I would’ve enjoyed a tour on my first day it would’ve made me feel less nervous but the people at reception are happy to help the support from my lectures especially my personal tutor has been amazing I couldn’t have picked a uni more convenient for me.

What students say about photography

There is great support for students and facilities, especially for photography. I have been able to create high-quality prints and experiment with various cameras and lighting. As well as knowing that my lecturers are there to support me. The building is situated well in the centre of Cardiff, with it being very accessible to various student accommodations, shops, places to go out and transport links. However, the student union could host more events to bring students together even more.

What students say about photography

The best version of this university that every teacher is always ready to help the students in every circumstances even lectures were delivered very well. The entrie environment is cool in campus even we I experienced different culture, vibes and languages. There is nothing as such worst in the campus, however I as international student I feel sometimes confused because of language barriers or digital method of students. As it can be improved if every single step will be clear to students means time to time guidance is required here. As per my conviction, everything is looking new and I am on exuberant stage because I was eagerly waiting to come in this university to learn about business skills hope I will be on track after completing master's.

What students say about photography

The SU and student life were probably the weakest parts of my university experience, but this is likely in part due to the small size of Aberystwyth. There were a range of societies but many stopped and restarted at various points. The campus has a great atmosphere and is just the right size!

What students say about photography

I absolutely love this college. The staff are so lovely and friendly, and are always willing to support and help students. The lecturers and staff of the photography department are fantastic. The one-to-one tutorials with lecturers are incredibly helpful for students, providing feedback and support on what works well in their work and what they could improve. I started the photography course with no knowledge of photography. As a result of the three years on the course, I have gained so much knowledge on photography that I could not have imagined having before starting the course. I have gained so much confidence as a result of being on the course due to the incredible support from the staff on the course. The staff are so encouraging when it comes to students and are passionate about their work. The staff has encouraged me to expand my creativity and, as a result, I have seen a drastic change between my work before the course and my work as a result of the course. It has been an absolute privilege studying at Carmarthen School of Art, and I will greatly missing being there. I would definitely recommend studying here to anyone passionate about art, especially photography.
