Sociology

University rating (4)

The university campus has everything you need, so as a commuting student I still get that ‘university feel’ as it is all in one place. Travelling 30 minutes is worth it as I can study, make friends and do different things at uni, as well as still living from home and saving money in the long run.

Great support from the faculty, a lot of flexibility in module choice and the chance for everyone to learn a language for free regardless of your course is a huge boon.

BA (Hons) in Art and Design: Fashion and Textiles

University rating (5)
Tell us about your overall college experience so far.

Having been a student at Colchester institute I can highly recommend it as a great choice to study a degree. I studied fashion and textiles, the course was well organised with lots of opportunities for live projects as well as national competitions. Encouragement was constantly given to seek out work experience and the year I was there, students worked at Alexander McQueen, Mary Katrantzou and Mathew Williamson to name a few. Colchester is a lovely historic town with plenty to do it is 50 minutes away from London making visits to the latest exhibitions and shows very easy. The lecturers on this course were always very helpful and supportive and always available to have discussions even outside of your allocated session times. The technician has a wealth of knowledge too and no job ever seemed to extreme when it came to developing your ideas. I would go back in a heart beat and relive the wonderful time I had at Colchester Institute and any learner luckily enough to be accepted would have a full and relevant education.

A really great course, I learnt so much! Very good opportunities for gaining work experience and placements. Whilst on the course, students are given the opportunity to work on live projects with companies within the fashion and textile industry and encoraged to enter competitions- a great way build contacts and get yourself noticed in such a competitive industry. I won two competitions whilst I was at Colchester School of Art, winning £1,000 and getting my designs put into production for the George label.
