After an open day, I made the decision to choose º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ for two reasons. The first being the º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ Design industry links and placement opportunities. The second being the proposed student experience at a campus university (it did not disappoint).
Having tutors and mentors in º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ Design that are active in both industry and academic research meant that the teaching quality was always reflective (and sometimes predictive) of the demands of the “real-world”.
When I graduated, I really benefited on having learnt an adaptable skill set that made the transition from university to full-time work a lot more delightful. Additionally, this also meant that the facilities at the university were always being changed to meet the demands of new skills and ways of working.
I did not know what I wanted to do before university. I kind of stumbled into design as it felt like the right fit. I had always enjoyed problem solving but never knew it could be a profession.
My time at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ Design allowed me to experience a broad range of expertise within design and express myself through the areas that I enjoyed the most.
My advice to anyone considering studying this course is enjoy it. Do not take yourself so seriously. Make the most out of every opportunity º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ gives you, you will not regret it.
