4 reviews for Hereford College of Arts

If you put the effort in, the course is so rich and fruitful, and the tutors will help you out as much as they can. The graphics studio is a lovely place to work and they’re updating facilities which look to be really promising.

I don’t always feel the safest here as doors constantly fail and sometimes stay unfixed for a while. The location is superb, right next to town, supermarkets and the train station, although the uphill walk to college can be a little difficult if you have mobility issues and there is no public transport to get you there. Since there’s no other competition, it is very overpriced.

There’s a lot of opportunity to explore what you like and discover new things. Lecturers are always there to help and give support.

Excellent workshops with awesome technical demonstrators and spacious studios that we can make our own.

Amazing support networks are in place at HCA. The best support is always your fellow students though and the community at HCA is second to none.

I love the freedom we get to pursue our specific interests within the arts sector.

The uni facilities are amazing. They're all pretty new too, and they're pretty extensive. Ceramics, 3d, textiles, print, photography, plastics, small metals etc. And studio space is decent for most students. Very happy.

The student support is very good. There's always someone there to help if you need it, and there are services to support your learning too.

The student union doesn't really exist yet, as the uni is still developing. The student ambassador is on it though, and we do have pub crawls and fairs and other stuff arranged.

I'm a country girl, so coming here was a bit eye opening. There are lots of pubs and clubs in Hereford, as well as a new shopping centre and loads of other shops, and the cathedral is beautiful. There are parks and rivers too, so you can get best of both worlds.

Much like the student union, it's still in progress. Right now we have Horticultural society, Christian union and Dungeons and Dragons.

Couldn't ask for better lecturers. I have had a great experience with them. They're enthusiastic, challenging and overall great.

I honestly don't know about jobs. As a fine artist I don't think it'll be the easiest part of my life. It's going to take work but uni is preparing me very well for that.

Currently the accommodation is private or arranged by the RNC. There are halls let out to students, which are pretty cheap and very good considering. I'm happy with them so far. Can't really complain. Decent size rooms, kitchens, free washing facilities and big common room.
