As a mature student my experience has been fantastically rewarding and challenging. Now that I’ve completed my degree, I feel confident in what I’ve learnt and excited about what my creative future holds. Working hard most definitely pays off but listening and learning from a multitude of creative professionals has been invaluable too. As with so much in life, it’s what you make of it and I consider my studies to have been a truly formative and invigorating experience, seeing the world around me in new and exciting perspectives - rich with potential for creative conversations, continued learning and also growth.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my educational experience. The small taking of the course seemed to make us, as students, form a stronger bond with each other which helped us manage throughout the duration of the course. The staff have been consistently exceptional in helping us achieve our vision and broaden our creative limits. The facilities available at the college encouraged me to learn a vast range of skills that I was unlikely to encounter or partake in at a university with a greater intake of students. I have had the opportunity to be surrounded by a variety of creatives, both students and staff, and gained a wider understanding of my subject. The addition of frequent artist talks throughout the years also allowed for a better understanding of life beyond art school as well as allowing us to receive feedback about our own practice from people whom don't know us, finally, it has encouraged us to begin making contacts outside of the perimeters of where we know.

As a mature student returning to education for a career change, I was extremely nervous of entering full time education again. However I did not need to worry as this course and it's tutors are at the top of their profession and helped me navigate the art experience. The access to studio space is amazing and I had my own area which was a really good size with access to workshops and darkrooms. The small class size means excellent one to one with tutors on a regular basis. The modules are well laid out and tutors are clear and patient. Technicians are always on hand to book time to help if you need new skills or want assistance with electrical or gallery assistance. The studio is as clean as the students make it and there is good health and safety guidence. Great ceramic tutoring and woodworking skills tutorage and fine art has good access to photographic studios too and the technical knowledge is great. Lectures are fantastic and relevant to contemporay themes.
