What students say about communication-design

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.

Great all round university with great balance of city and rurally located. Transport wise, its great within city. Although, it lacks proper parking for rurally located people (where public transport is not an option/viable option) as requires permit. To resolve this, a multistory carpark could be implemented or more bus links/shuttlebuses from locations outside of the city. The lack of public transport outside the city is a problem anyway, so may be worth considering relocating to city for duration of course. With regards to course, having already been a student previously, there are a lot more support systems in place to help aid students. Moreover, compared to other universities, the staff are more than happy to help. The small knit feel of the University and the city provides a homely lifestyle, easily and effortlessly. This is only furthered by the diversity of culture within the city and shire. The union is great, the staff are approachable and friendly. From initially becoming a student to my time here now, however, the union seems to be downsizing. I feel that this is an absolute shame as it provides an independent aspect to life as a student. It, in my opinion, has reduced the quality of student life as it miminises a student voice, independent of the university. That being said, there is a great range of mental health facilities in place now to enhance student lifestyle auch as free gym membership for students.

What students say about communication-design

Tutors are lovely but the only thing that could be improved is the support for the English and the rest of the students who are not from Scotland. It's took me 3 years to get help for my dyslexia and that is because I have to pay for it.

What students say about communication-design

I am in my first year of studying with IDI for a BA (Hons) in Photography. Please bear in mind that when reading this review that it is via distance learning through the internet so some of the star ratings are not applicable but I had to rate them.I had looked around for distance learning photography degrees for a long time before deciding that IDI looked like the best option for me.The admissions process was straight forward and I did not need to go through UCAS. The staff were very helpful and very quick at answering any questions and dealing with my application. I had also made enquiries with local universities and colleges for the same course to study on a part time basis and just getting answers from those to simple questions was like pulling teeth so quite the opposite to IDI. From submitting my application to getting my place confirmed took less than a couple of days.The on-line learning environment is excellent. The course notes are easy to follow and well structured and you actively participate in discussions and debates with your peers by using on-line forums which substitute for the classroom/lecture environment and work well. The tutors are excellent and are always there to hand in you need some guidance, for feedback on your assessments and answering questions that you may have. The responses in my experience have always been relevant to you and your work rather than for the masses so is very personal too. There are also excellent student support teams and technical support teams too.Overall I am highly delighted with the course and IDI in particular and know that I made the right choice when selecting them to study with and would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to study in a flexible way.

This really is a great place to be a part of. I absolutely love the Glasgow school of Art. I have already recommended to friends & my cousin who has always wanted a place here - she is an incredible designer.
