A great school. Could be slightly better organised. Not perfect, but everything is done with good intentions, to help you be prepared and the best you can be. I love DSL so much. Well worth the audition! UWL isn’t the best in terms of accommodation- my year in halls was horrendous - but I dealt with it because DSL made it worth it.

The main building is small and old-fashioned but with lots of character. Mainly use other buildings during COVID to ensure space for social distancing. Everything is clean and well-maintained. It’s a small school within UWL but UWL services and spaces are available. Could do with better spaces to eat! Lovely garden area.

Pretty good. The staff are generally pretty good at listening to concerns. There are extra classes to support neuro-diverse students, and tutorials to check out well-being. Of course, there are still areas for improvement. Not all staff have an understanding of anxiety.

Amazing contact hours (6 hours per day, 5 days per week when in-person, still had 3 hours a day online). 1 to 1 with a personal tutor every week. Full-time actor training to prepare you for the industry. Staff always make time for you and listen to your needs. Extra masterclasses and talks take place from time to time.

The school prepares you to be a working actor. That includes supporting yourself financially and looking for opportunities. They have a great industry week and fantastic visitors.

Everything about this university is great except for some lecturers. Some lecturers do not have a good command of English making it difficult for students to understand clearly, have very little understanding of the topics or prefers one student over another. The evaluation provided by students should be taken seriously by university if they really want to improve. If they can provide some good teachers in their courses, this university can be one of the best in London. Students don't need highly educated sophisticated teacher, we just want someone who knows their stuff and can explain it to students in simple way.

Keep up the good work.
