What students say about theatre-dramatic-arts

What I really like about the Uni is the overall environment, lots of greenery and the general location is a nice spot to walk around and is short distance from shops and diners etc. Its relatively small size feels more personable and everyone is nice overall. Only thing is communication with my course’s lecturers is not always consistent and effective which can be frustrating

What students say about theatre-dramatic-arts

It's very focused on it's programmes and wants to get the best out of people and give them skills they need to succeed in their chosen profession. However, when initially starting, staff could be more present and offer better support for struggling students, especially in regards to paperwork and necessary tasks required for your programme.
