I’ve loved being at my uni and enjoyed most parts of it. Especially the kind of extracurricular and other opportunities available. However I feel a little short changed within my actual course as I know no more about garment construction or print than when I started. All I’ve really learnt is the research and design thinking side but nothing practical - which is kind of important.
Job Prospects
How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?
It has a part time careers department on our campus (1 person) though she is great. My course itself was absolutely no help in assisting me in finding a placement or helping me work towards employment.
Course and Lecturers
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
Well, they’re taught pretty well now but when I was in 1st and 2nd year we were missing a lecture in my specialist area and missed out on key teaching so that now I’m half way through my final year and feel like I haven’t been taught anything of the practical side of my subject. And the way my minor specialism is taught seems to lack a lot in the modern essential skills for printmaking - digital print and repeat print.

Students' Union
What do you think of your Students' Union in terms of student representation and facilities?
The staff and student staff are awesome and the facilities are improving
Uni Facilities
How good are your university’s facilities?
They’re decent. The water fountains are shockingly bad but everything else is okay.
Local life
Is your university in a good location in terms of distance to accommodation and local amenities?
Yes. It’s in city centre. Surrounded by student accommodation. The only problem is the distance from some public transport from areas of the city like where I live.
Societies and Sports
How would you rate the variety of societies/sports?
Well, on my campus there’s no access to sports facilities or clubs. You have to travel via unreliable public transport several miles away to the Jordanstown campus. Which on student money isn’t feasible and is too time consuming. Especially for those who live in the opposite direction- like me.
