What Our Students Say

I particularly enjoyed feeling part of an artistic community, and gaining confidence in myself and my work.

I feel each project throughout the course in a way allowed for creative thinking and allowed me to create work I felt passionate about, whilst still keeping in line with the proposed themes.

This course has allowed me to learn and make use of various mediums and materials that I haven’t used before and given me the courage to continue to experiment with them.

The course is structured very well, especially preparing students for degree level learning. The tutorials were interesting and informative and the tutors were amazing.

The course has given me a taste of what to expect in the future and it has taught me how to approach academic work in a structured and disciplined manner, developing my research and my time management.
