I absolutely love studying at AUB it's so much fun. My lecturers are brilliant, they give amazing feedback about my work and it's such a friendly campus to be on. It's incredibly accessible for people with disabilities and my lecturers are always open to discussions about how they can help with accommodations for me and other students. I would recommend studying at AUB to any creative looking to advance their skills with lecturers who are truly passionate about the subject :D

The course is taught completely in-person, with a lecture every Monday to start the week. Because of the amount of people on the course we're split into two groups. It is kinda sad that I haven't met most people on my course because of the way it's split but I appreciate that the lecturers wouldn't be able to give enough of their attention to anyone if we were all in the same class. Contacting lecturers is easy, but getting a timely reply is another thing. It doesn't really matter if you need to inform them of an absence, but if you need information or for them to help fix an issue it can be a little annoying. I've found that my lecturers are really passionate about the subject they teach and that makes the lessons engaging and enjoyable.

It's expensive to live here, but there's lots to do during the day and as a night out. There's lots of public transportation links including buses, trains and coaches. The buses are incredibly reasonably priced and the student year ticket is great. There's part time work here, but the hours are usually unsociable and most want you to work at least one day of the week as well. It's very lightly that when you finish uni you'll have to move to get work unless you go freelance. The only reason there's diversity in bmth is because of the students. When students go home for the holidays you see the real age/racial bracket of bmth, which is old white Tories. When uni is in session it's a great and incredibly diverse place to be, when people go home, it's not.

There can be a closed minded view on illustration and its career prospects, we are mainly fed the idea of freelance and not so much how many other choices we can branch out onto. We only get to see the other paths through Friday lectures. Not enough encouragement and push that doesn’t translate to “do something different”. I spent the first two years of my course working. Advice can feel generic a lot of the time and not catered towards individuals. The teaching doesn’t always feel clear and many times we’re left confused until a week before the deadline no matter how many tutorials we book. It would be helpful if we got to see past works from graduates.
