What students say about art-studies

The staff are incredible, unbelievably understanding and supportive. They want you to succeed and you can really tell. However, Lipman building is constantly broken. The top two floors have been out of service for year and now the entire building is out of commission and not expected to be back until the summer. Surely at this point just demolish the place.

What students say about art-studies

The course curriculum is designed well to lay the foundations of various subjects in 1st sem, and we apply those learnings during our assignments and in the 2nd sem. It is more practical learning with hands-on approach on group projects and industry collaborations in the 2nd sem. The staffs are brilliant and incredibly supportive. There are lots of facilities and societies for extra curriculars. The university is situated near the city centre and so it is in a very good location. People in the town are very kind. Overall, I am having a great experience in the university.

What students say about art-studies

The community is very diverse and inclusive, you can find a lot of other people like you and get talking. Laptop borrowing, computer rooms, and lecture halls are useful and conducive to learning, and the professors want you to do your best and encourage you to achieve, giving good guidance as well. Student support can be hit or miss - I was not contacted by them in first year, and had to contact them myself so I could learn about what support they can offer me, but when the agreements are in place, they are quite good. Collegiate campus has amazing nature and building design, beautiful and on Ecclesall Road, and both campuses are easy to get to from the city centre. The Students' Union does not feel like it is part of the university - I have had little interaction with them, do not know the full extent of what they offer, and do not entirely know how they work, and so it does not seem like a top priority or the first thing one may think of when they think of Sheffield Hallam University. However, this is not the universal experience of the Union, and others may say differently. Overall, the university is rather good, and my experience is largely satisfactory.

What students say about art-studies

I love the social areas that I can spend time with my friends and buy delicious food. Leeds Beckett also has a lot of sports club options whether that’s on the main teams or the social teams. My course is also very practical and has excellent equipment to utilise for our learning. The only suggestion I could think for improvements is potentially increasing the seating areas or decreasing the food prices in the city campus cafes.

What students say about art-studies

There are excellent lecturers and student support services (particularly academic skills). The campus has a good feel and has a lot of outdoor seating which will be nice when the weather is warm. Lecture rooms are good but the seats are very uncomfortable. There is little impact from the students' union, for example there was no 'refreshers fayre' for January intake students, which also impacts the student life score.

Best breakdown on Tuition fee for International Student and Getting better on Teaching and learning. Energy on prospect and Employability getting bigger everyday Worst Inclusion and Diversity for International Student is not deeply rooted. Students voice and student Union seems not advocate for student. Frost and synergy on Graduate Research Student or School for great support is not there yet.

What students say about art-studies

Leeds Arts Univerity is small in size, meaning there are few noteworthy Student Unions in comparison to UoL, but does feel welcoming and safe. The university's student support is freindly and helpful from what I experienced; LAU is a very inclusive organisation and does strive to support students with a variety of services available. The campus is a little dull looking, with few spaces looking vibrant in contrast to the many white/grey hallways. I was able to use the Film/Photography course's cameras as a Music student, however the university's facilities seem somewhat limited as a whole, with spaces and equipment scarce close to submission time.

Very trained Professionals and teachers. Ambiance is really really nice and spectacular. Modules are designed amazingly. Food should be available till night (Cafe closes early). Students are less engaged with each other (May be due to international biases).

The university is award winning and is well connected to major cities like Leeds and Manchester as well as having a new building for health sciences, Daphne Steele. an improvement i would love to see if more social events throughout the year as if you miss freshers week it is difficult to make friends.
