Theatre and Drama HND/HNC degrees in Eastern England

As a UCP alumni and now studying elsewhere I can compare small and large institutions and a small university such as UCP has much to offer over larger universities. Having people know who you are outside of your course, having support from teaching and support services without complicated processes, learning over your set days allows you to plan around this time so other commitments can fit. The course material is aimed at what the industry is looking for with practical applications alongside theoretical study giving you options for employment or further study. The staff not only support but work to create independent study and research skills. I enjoyed the sites and its facilities for being compact and easy to get around.

I think it has definitely gone through tough times alongside other universities, but I do think there were times that made this university, in particular, receive the Times award. The facilities and feel of the campus are mostly highlighted through its beautiful brutalist library and its environmentalist business school, but there are still questionable architectural elements that dot the campus. Student support has unfortunately degraded since before my time, especially with the removal of Residence Assistance and many restaurants, such as Roost and Func, which initially provided the university with a diverse array of foods. The navigability of the classes also depends on the fact that classes in the squares are very anti-beginner-friendly to navigate their maze-like structure. Nonetheless, its students' union remains resilient and optimistic; the location near London makes it a perfect balance for both international and home students who want to commute there, and Colchester also acts as a small but serviceable city for basic needs and wants.
