I love my course! It has exceeded all of my expectations and I’m amazed by how much I’ve already learned. Lectures are great and there’s a real community vibe at the RAD. I’ve made some amazing friends and have been able to experience Uni life in a great city.

Most- small course size allows for more one to one contact with lecturers who are always willing to help. Least- lack of communication between lectures causes unorganisation and sometimes upsets students when trying to plan a study schedule

Large studio spaces are great and luckily we get to use them for practical ballet classes everyday! Leacture space could be improved seeing as we have only one lecture room. Common room and canteen are spacious but could offer more facilities suck as toasters and more microwaves

Great! There’s so much to see and do, lots of job opportunities and great places to eat. It can be hectic at times but I enjoy city living

I feel tutor feedback could be more constant throughout the semester to allow for self improvement before examinations and assessments. Student support is good, we get to meet our class tutor once a week. In these sessions we’re offered support and advice about upcoming deadlines and events.

I love my study experience. Our tutors are amazing at recognising what we need and giving it to us. Sometimes when we’ve had a hard lesson and are struggling our tutors will do a relaxation before class starts to get us in all a positive mood again. We have lots of opportunities that other students do not get with our placements and performance opportunities.

We are given opportunities in all the years to visit and tech and different placement sectors and experience a variety of teaching styles and groups. We are assessed in our placements where we are needing to teach students effectively. We do a lot of theory work which we are then able to put into practice in peer teaching episodes as well as in our placements. This enables us to practice what works well and what needs improvement before we get to our placements.

I like the variety of lecturers we have teaching us- who each bring a different element to our learning- and make us well rounded student teachers. I also like that we are taught in theory and practical classes evenly. The thing I like the least about how our course is taught is that we have to cut down our dance lessons to be able to fit in our placements.

We have very good facilities, although because it’s an old building and a bit too small for it’s growing students it is a little small and sometimes a little cold in the oldest parts of the building (especially on the top floor). However we are getting new building in 2020 which I’m sure will have amazing facilities

London is amazing city to study in! There is so much going and some great student night life which makes going out cheaper too! The cost of living is high but there’s ways of still having fun on a budget and there’s so many sights to see and places to explore you are never bored!

Our tutors work super hard to give us lots of opportunity for feedback in many ways. Individual feedback, group feedback and peer feedback being the main ways of us receiving feedback. As we are dancers we need to be given constructive feedback in order to progress daily but sometimes it can be hard to take and needs to be evened out with positive reinforcement- which can sometimes get overlooked In the efforts to get all the students to improve. The uni offers two types of counselling support both of which are easy to access.
