coming to this university has definitely inspired to become a fashion journalist. The course is amazing and i enjoy every min of it . I've learnt so much and i love my course tutor . She is very easy to get on with and gives us the est advice when it comes to the fashion industry. Ive seen some amazing people in the fashion industry and i am excited for what else the course brings
Great feedback from each ad every lecturer whenever i am stuck. I know i can always fall back on that which is good. I must say it is a lot of work. The work load just gets worse and worse and hard to control so its best to get it out of the way as soon as possible or you wont be able to meet the deadlines . I wish there were more events at uni something to keep us occupied at uni really
Uni life is hard its a big jump from doing a lot of work to doing even more . It feels very weird to know that i am not always told what to do. So i dunno i am still tryna get used to it. i have met some nice people though and easy to get on with. I think thats all that matters because if i'm stuck ill be able to find myself and start off again when it comes to living and being around at uni
Epso is such a bad area and its expensive to get into because its outside of london. It should be in the zones. Its literally just outside london. I commute so that really bugs me. my lectures are so disorganised i hate travelling in only to only be at a tutorial or seminar for 30mins its time wasting i cant plan according. The lectures are really good and interesting though!
I love architecture. I love what the course has to offer. Its a very spontaneous course and not a lot of people do it so we get more effective feedback on assignments, tutorials and presentations from our tutors which is going to get a first when i graduate. I love it and i now know that there are jobs outside uni and after uni . thats the only thing i was probably hesitant about
I like UCA! Its everything i thought it would be. II didn't really have high expectations because Uni is what you make it. I am quite ambitiou anyways so if its boring and uninteresting. Ill try and make it as much interesting as possible. The tutors are there to help you as much as possible and you can get information from the course handbooks online.
My general first impressions of this uni and my course were general. I thought christ so many girls. I generally thought i don't know how am going to deal beng with all these girls but in the end it worked out well. I PROBABLY just had cold feet and every one gets cold feet when thy start uni its normal which is what should of expected to be honest now i think the journo's are awesome.
Well, I don't have so much a review i would say its a opinion in my eyes. In my opinion uni is not all what it seems especially when the course reps and tutors sell it to you so much you fall for the trap. I had so much high expectations for UCA and i just feel like its not doing it for me to be honest. The course is lacking so much depth when it comes to writing and the journalistic aspects of it . So far i am not happy
First year is a walk in the park so no one should be put off by it. I turned up to half off my lectures and still manage to pass the first unit. But the first year doesn't really count towards much. All in all it was quite an easy uni to adjust to, so far so good. Most fashion courses give you what you want and some great job prospects in store so its helpful in the job area. I love my course
I Quite like UCA, its everything i kind of imagined although epsom is a terrible area to go out in so i just go out in london. the good thing is that Epsom is center to everything and easy to visit london. The course is amazing and the tutors on the course are all great.I've learnt a lot so far to do with fashion history, culture and the impact it has now im excited for more to come.
UCA's great, i've made some great friends and met some really lovely people. My course is really good were always kept on our toes and supported when it comes to assignments. I enjoy it i guess because the tutors all have experience in the fashion industry which makes it more interesting and some amazing guest speakers that come in and advise us on how to proceed in the fashion world. I like that!
Uca in general is great and the fact that its close to london is even better. I would say from experience and being in epsom you need to try and take advantage of getting an internship or work placement as it will definitely help you in the long term. i think second year is when you should grab it as your able to take a year out to study and learn things i cannot wait for that.
University for me is not what i expected it to be . So i would say to prospective students have an open mind about university because because you will enjoy it more. My experience so far has been very unique but in a good way in the fact i think i have met friends for life who have made coming to UCA worth while. I am quite pleased to be honest not gonna lie.
I personally like the university and the course a lot but Epsom is really not where i want to live if i am being honest. Its dead ad lifeless.There is nothing going on and you don't meet as many people to socialise with or can get along with. Thank God London is not to far away from epsom so i just go there really when i want to get away from epsom.
I would tell them to make sure you get involved in all the activities and social gatherings. Make sure you go into london as often as possible as its only a train journey away. UCA can be fun as long as you chill with people you like, youre comfortable and if your able to mingle on the course. This can make your time at UCA a lot easier to be on.
the uni experience at epsom is a big disappointment. I feel like i am not showing my full potential at uca and the job hunt in epsom and this is mainly due to the course being a huge let down. So far i have only enjoyed one module one the whole entire fashion journalism course which is contextual studies and it is some what irrelevant to fashion journalism as a whole.
its very good for studying fashion based subjects, its a quiet, clean and good working environment. The uni experience so far for me has been good,ive met some lively,loving friends and its been so far a good experience.What i've learnt so far in fashion journalism has been brilliant. Uni is what you make it people.
I hate it here in UCA . there is absolutely no student life here. this place is only situated for old people for old people which is a pain. I am so angry and and 570 a month for rent. Epsom is such an expensive area to live in and i feel sorry for people commuting to and from uni
I find the uni to be okay, the only thing that bugs me out the most are the short seminars and lectures. which is very annoying. Also UCA is very disorganised in terms of the timetable. Travelling to and from epsom is a pain. It costs to much money and sometimes is a wasted journey.SHOULD BE A ZONE 6 AREA!


I'm really enjoying my time at uni. Great experience so far, I love my new friends, I love the course, it gets interesting every day. It's hard work but just got to deal with
