Photography - BA (Hons)

University of the Arts London

Because of Covid, this year has been a little disjointed. Although my course is online, it’s been difficult to work in the conditions and mentally it is challenging. We have not been aloud into the college at all this year even to use the library spaces. My course has though, been okay as a lot of the work is in your own time and the lectures have still be interesting and helpful. I would have liked a little more personal guidance from the course or from the university as I have struggled a little with the assignments and how to interpretate them. I like that we have bi monthly sessions with the teachers and other class members to run ideas and ask queries. It always nice to see everyone’s else ideas and get their thoughts, critiques and praises on your own work. I inherently do enjoy the course and I like the freedom but would like just a little more support during this difficult time.

I love CSM on my first sight and I am happy that I could live with it for 2 years. I love the fountains. I love the coal drops yard. I love the Friday markets. I love the platform bar. I love the people in CSM. If the canteen could be more delicious then it would be perfect.

Honestly I’ve really enjoyed it. I have a feeling like I’m finally able to do what I’ve always wanted to. My course is extremely interesting and I’m provided with all the help needed.

The University feels pretty nice and definitely a right step to take in order to get somewhere in the industry. As I've now changed universities as well, having studied journalism last year at a different institution, I can say I'm happier here. I'm glad it went through with the switch.
