Nice campus. Open space. Community feel. Needs more recreational space indoors.
The course, tutors, and teachers (especially our course leader Kate Colgrave-Pope) are absolutely incredible!! However, since we are at the North Campus in Wigan, there are certain Student Support and Union benefits that we miss out on. Additionally, our campus could use some improvements, such as better heating, soundproofing, and a cafe/vending machines.
The tutors on ETA are very kind and knowledgeable about their subjects and it’s amazing to be able to take theatre in a new direction on this course. The best thing about the university is the sense of community that is shared amongst everyone on campus. However, over the past year this has been in decline because of how many social events and spaces the university holds are in the balance.
Need to be able to support a larger group of people. Great environment between students.
I really have loved studying here in Wigan- it’s been a unique experience to say the least.
Couldn’t have imagined a better uni, the staff and the support are brilliant and I am very happy on the course. No downsides :)
The staff are really supportive and do make the classes feel personal and tailored. Improvements in communication and timetabling to make it a more holistic experience would be good
It is really near central London. The campus is well-equipped. There are parties by the Student Union and the Student Support offers 6 sessions of therapy for free
Incredible teachers who pour their everything into your extensive contact hours, however incredibly poor admin support in that we don’t know when anything’s happening until the night before as there’s not enough staff employed to do admin work.
I think there can be more student events in general. I think there also needs to be another indoor social place
Love the cafe
Amazing atmosphere and staff, beautiful campus and surroundings.
Everyone at Bruford is Kind and Loving. This creates an ideal atmosphere for learning.
Best- incredible approach to learning on my course with the teachers who actually take time and care with their students Worst- the new principle has really shredded the Bruford values The lack of funding effects our learning.
The staff are amazing! They make you feel so welcome and always a delight to see on an early morning ! Campus is beautiful and facilities are great.
Really welcoming and it's mostly never a dull day. However all the technical students have to do a module that us completely useless, it takes away from valuable learning time and no one learns anything from it. Speaking to past students it hasn't changed in at least 10 years and has been complained about by many courses every year
Overall great school, we could just do with another building for rehearsing etc.
Relaxed environment to study

I’ve enjoyed my time at Rose Bruford thanks to the small campus and community. I love the course that I’m on and the ways in which it has prepared me for a career in the theatre industry. The staff on my course are supportive and committed to their students. Sidcup is a nice town, not too far from london and cheaper than living more centrally but there isn’t a whole lot around for students.
Theatre and Social Change is a unique course that has been a perfect fit for me. We are presented with a wide variety of skills in order to develop our personal creative practice. Unlike other courses we also learn to write, produce and direct our own shows meaning we leave with a whole number of career opportunities. I’ve been able to create theatre about the topics most important to me and learn in the process. It’s not for everyone and the course requires a lot of independent work but I believe it prepares you well for a job in the industry.
Christopher Court is a good accommodation in close proximity to the college. It’s a great opportunity to make friends, especially in your first year of study. It is however, very expensive and therefore not accessible to everyone.
