Childhood Studies foundation degrees in Wales

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.

The location is lovely despite it being quite out the way and a bit difficult to get to sometimes. All the staff have been great and really friendly, always helpful. The nightlife is great too with a huge variety of pubs and places to go.

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.

The lecturers are really knowledgeable and approachable. They have the right people on the course and students all get on well. The classroom is always clean and tidy there is a cafe and vending machines. The college doing free breakfasts for students every weekday morning shows they care about nutrition and the well being of the students. The building on the inside looks well maintained. The technology in class works well. The only thing I would improve the ability to connect to the wifi, I do find it difficult to connect my laptop or tablet to the wifi. The library and the availability of computers to use during the opening hours is really good and enables students to use them especially if they do not possess their own tech devices. I would welcome anyone who is interested in teaching further education to go to bridgend college. It's such an enjoyable experience and will benefit you massively if that is the vocation you choose.
