https://padlet.com/40075285/5xbgkbjk1uqw Reviews of some of the universities that attended en-us 2017-10-19 08:01:09 UTC 2023-03-17 03:21:30 UTC hello@padlet.com 40075285 https://padlet.com/40075285/5xbgkbjk1uqw/wish/198554177 The guy who was supposed to be the tutor of the graphic communication course gave me a long and dry presentation.
He went into great detail why he thinks the course is great. The graphic design course offers you great opportunity to create poster designs and illustrations.

The first year the course offers both pathways equally but in the following years the students can decide which pathways they're taking. ]]> 2017-10-19 08:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/40075285/5xbgkbjk1uqw/wish/198554178 40075285 https://padlet.com/40075285/5xbgkbjk1uqw/wish/198554179 This university surprised me the most, in a good way.
When I first went to they stand I was only interested in their illustration course but as the course tutor wasn't there I got to talk to a teacher from the animation course which turned out to be one of the most interesting talk of the day. 
She seemed really engaged with her subject and proud of her students. She talked about the course in great detail explaining their expectations and ways of working.
She told me to get into the course you are expected to showcase good drawing skills (they're expecting a variety of real life drawings in the portfolios for the interviews) and a great amount of individuality and creativity.  
The students on her course tend to stick together, like a family. They also participate in competitions and are often winning awards and visiting festivals (even in different countries, such as Japan). ]]> 2017-10-19 08:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/40075285/5xbgkbjk1uqw/wish/198554179 40075285 https://padlet.com/40075285/5xbgkbjk1uqw/wish/198554180 I was able to talk to a current student who is doing a fashion course. Even though that's not the course that I want to do she was able to give me many useful information. 
She told me that she likes the small size of the university because all the teachers are able to get to know everyone so that they can support you and even provide you with great job and brief opportunities, even if they don't actually teach you.  
She also, said that there is always a job available in town to take so getting a part-time job isn't that hard and the school can also offer you many roles to choose from. 
However, unfortunately there wasn't anyone from the animation course so I couldn't get information about it.  ]]> 2017-10-19 08:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/40075285/5xbgkbjk1uqw/wish/198554180 40075285 https://padlet.com/40075285/5xbgkbjk1uqw/wish/212824706 They offer a great opportunity to people who wants to start their carrier in the movie or gaming industry. They have 3 courses: Animation, SFX and Game Design. On the first year you have a chance to explore all 3 pathways but from the 2nd year till let last 3rd year you will work in your chosen pathway. 
I think they work look really professional and they have great connections, as they had an opportunity to work on movies like Doctor Strange but I feel like that they're limited on 3D design only. ]]> 2017-12-04 13:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/40075285/5xbgkbjk1uqw/wish/212824706 40075285 https://padlet.com/40075285/5xbgkbjk1uqw/wish/212829926 I think that the event was really useful as I got to meet many tutors and learn about the courses from first hand. It helped me to make better judgements on each university and to see what each course could offer me. I liked the variety of different courses and that many universities weren't London based. The universities listed here were the ones that really grabbed my attention as they all offer something that would help me develop my own carrier the best from out of all the different universities presented on the event. ]]> 2017-12-04 13:33:04 UTC https://padlet.com/40075285/5xbgkbjk1uqw/wish/212829926
