I urge anyone with any ambition not to attend this school. It's seeminly just a money-making institution. When I attended I was told you could take motion graphics, I was strung along and made to do illustration for first year. After that I was told that they weren't going to give us a teacher for motion graphics and we'd have to teach ourselves and hand it in at the end. It would be more worth your while watching tutorial videos online than paying £9000 a year to take this course.

Went here for two months and did Graphic Arts, but I couldn’t stay any longer than that. Really don’t recommend this course. Apart from it being such a small uni with nothing going on, the course was so disappointing. Absolutely not worth £9k a year, with only having a few hours on our timetables. I felt a lot of negativity from the lecturers, and didn’t feel them to be very supportive at all. The course was very limited, and misleading to what i saw on the open day, and wasn’t given any opportunity to expand my skills. The only good part being a free trip to London. Obviously this is just based on the graphics course so it may not be the same for other courses. Just don’t waste your time on this course

I was there when Ed D'Souza was Head of Graphics, he didn't like students who thought outside the box, had his favorites who he marked very favorably including Kay May who used to be the then Head of Schools Bashir Makhoul secretary. Ed spent alot of time in india trying to drum up business for the School by convincing the Indian students that the art school was elite; but lets face it since the textile center shut its just the poor distant relative campus to Southampton University (where all the students actually have a social life). Obviously Kay May got a first for her photography degree which from memory consisted of using photos other people took? This is probably why she was able to do the degree and work full time and seeing as she is somehow now the "Director of External Affairs" from being a secretary, being so friendly with Ed paid off nicely. Words of advice, don't cross this man or show your are too talented. Best of luck if you go here.
