Sort:Latest reviewsfro experiece of this uni I believe that there is A good standard of education here , facilities and career opportunities. Some misgivings with the management structure are somewhat outweighed by the content of the course.
The course is good and I really think the facilities are great. I also rate the accommodation highly. I notice that they have rebuilt the front of the university but not the back and this makes it feel like two different colleges.
it is been an interesting two years here at Goldsmiths. It is definitely a unique experience. Goldsmiths it iself is different from most unis in the sense that everyone is different. It is a blend of different cultures and diversity. Despite being different, we are all unified. Take each day as it comes, as Goldsmiths has something to offer for everyone.
I am not enjoying my course as I feel we are not understanding the point of some assessments. The SU is pretty good but I feel the music could be better and the price of entry is far too high. The accomodation is ridiculously expensive for a student and should be reduced.
I love Goldsmiths, I feel so at home here. I am surrounded by people who are so creative and this spurs me on to keep creating. I feel part of a family here and everyone is really supportive. The only downfall for me is a lack of performance spaces although I hear this is due to change. I would recommend this university to anyone who wants the freedom to create.
Goldsmiths is a very good university with many facilities available to the students. I do not stay in accommadation so I can not comment on that but I have heard they are good if pricey.
The uni experience is not all it is made out to be so do not expect too much when applying. My advice is: make sure you know how to budget, socialise as much as you can and most of all, START YOUR WORK WHEN IT IS SET!
Review what it is you wish to specialise in or you will run a higher chance of questioning what you are doing or why. You may regret your decision becasue of a lack of information.
White, middle class values are too prevelant. The canteen is very pricey for students from poorer backgrounds. But other from that I would say that the experience is the most important thing I will take away with me!
it is a good uni and they help you a lot financially but the course can be confusing. Not a lot of information is given on essays and work load etc. The facilities on campus are good and of good quality. The SU is also a lot of help, they know a lot about how to help you. Overall, it is good but needs some improvement.
Considering at first I never wanted to go to uni at all, I am having a great time and being really interested by the subject. If I could tell a prospective student one thing it would be: be ready to have an opinion, or learn and listen and involve yourself in conversation and debate. this is going to become part of your life!
If you are coming to Goldsmiths to do a drama degree, be prepared for a lot, I mean a lot, of theory work. The disability team lacks in so many ways. They say one thing but do another leaving people with disabilities in limbo. Overall the uni is okay but I would not recommend it to many.
I am thoroughly enjoying my course and London's culture as well as night life. However, I think that people should only enrol at a uni (especially Goldsmiths) if they are actually interested in their subject because however wild life can get at times, it is hard work. Which is the best thing ever but only if you are up for it.
Goldsmiths is excellent, I ended up here by chance through clearing and could not have asked for anything better. If you are willing to get involved, There is so much to do. The people are lovely and I have great memories from first two terms. The management could definitely be better.
I have found that the course has not fufilled my expectations and I do not feel especially positive about it. I am also disappointed by the accommodation facilities. The student union has organised some good things and is generally okay.

Overall, my academic experience has been amazing. The lecturers and practice tutors are very good pedagogically and very supportive on a personal level. The drama department facilities are weak, really not enough space for rehearsal or maybe a bad space management. If you come to Goldsmiths be aware of the distractions. New Cross has a very vibrant life and your studies coudl easily take second place!
I think that the course that I am studying is good and I enjoy the work. I also really enjoy discovering London and the proximity from the university to the centre of the city. I think that the facilities here are good.

Be prepared for a lot of independent studying at Goldsmiths. I am enjoying modules, especially the cultural side of these studies. Only complaint is that the academic years finishes too early.
