What students say about art-history-and-criticism

It's very chill , in central london and the subjects are very interesting and decolonial. The lecturers are very good at what they do. It is lacking in huge university events and festivals with most being arranged by societies very rarely.

What students say about art-history-and-criticism

The location in central London not far from where the UKs decisions are made is amazing. The library has most of the resources I need and if you can’t find something the library staff will happily try and make it available. The thing where the uni lets us down the most is admin.

The actual university was fine. The new building has a lot of great facilities but some of them can only be used by people from that actual course. Sewing machines and work spaces can get really busy. Nice interior design and layout.

What students say about art-history-and-criticism

I love all the student deals. However, I feel like many of the student activity processes could be streamlined as it seems so overwhelming as a foreigner/first-year. Like, having to book a ticket, but then still waiting in line or an event being overbooked via ticketing that people are dissuaded to come. Then, when the event takes place, the ticket holders don’t even come.

What students say about art-history-and-criticism

The best part of my university experience has been the learning environment and independence. I’ve had access to good facilities, knowledgeable tutors, and projects that push me to think critically and work in a more professional way, especially through practical and design-based assignments. University has also helped me develop discipline, self-management, and confidence in my own ideas. Being surrounded by people from different backgrounds has broadened how I think, both academically and personally.

What students say about art-history-and-criticism

I have enjoyed my study here at Richmond. The other reviews listed here are talking about the old campus which I didn't experience, but now the school has moved to Chiswick Business Park which is very modern and clean. The school is in one building which is easy to navigate, however its pretty small and sometimes its hard to find study spaces on busy days. The Fashion teachers are very credible and knowledgable as many of them also teach at London College of Fashion and the University of the Arts London. I can't speak on other majors, but all of my fashion teachers were lovely and easy to get in touch with about fashion internships around London. The student accommodation offered was great, the only con was that it was far from campus, but in terms of London life it was a good location to get around the city.

What students say about art-history-and-criticism

I’m a mature student doing the BMus Music part-time at Goldsmiths. I’ve just come to the end of the full-time first year (which has taken me two years). Headline is I’d really recommend this course – it was definitely a good decision to apply. Over the first year I’ve done 5 year-long modules and coming to the end I reckon they have given me a really solid foundation as a musician in terms of my ability to play, write, analyse and think about music.
