University of the Arts London - UAL
speciality: Marketing

A university that exposes you to live projects and forms connections with artists, designers and successful professionals to ease your networking for post-grad. UAL feels like a safe space to speak with peers, past and present, as well as motivating lecturers. I would recommend this university!

I go to the London College of Communications and I’d like to point out how many useful workshops and equipment they offer to their students. As an Advertising student I have access to printing labs, film workshops, painting classes, Adobe courses and more. which allows me to truly broaden my hard skills strengthening my resume, ultimately assisting me in increasing my employability upon graduation. Specifically with my program, I would appreciate a more practical course schedule than theoretical as I believe it would help me gain hands-on experience with job-like projects.

my experience at ual has been amazing so far. considering it is rated 2nd best in the world for art and design, i cannot complain about my experience however there some downs i have faced considerinf strikes etc and some teaching conditions but is an amazing experience overall

I would definitely recommend studying at LCC because of the story support system that is given to us, from the tutors from the industry, having workshops to enhance our skillsets to having creative opportunities for us as a stepping stone such as the Arts Temp. Not only that, they have types of equipment for us to rent to do our personal projects.

It’s definitely a school that will support your creative career even if you feel that you might have the skillset yet. Not only that, there are so many mini pop-ups every now and then, which is nice and there is never really a dull moment in school.

Definitely highly recommend it and know that you are in for a good learning experience.

I enjoyed my time at this university, I met a lot of great educators and throughly engaged with my course. There are a lot of great resources to make use of. The school environment is multicultural and is also a great place to study as an international student.

My time at the University of the Arts London has been nothing short of a dream come true. Lectures are extremely engaging and informative, providing me with all the information I need for a successful start in my PR career. Seminars develop your creative skills and bolster your motivation for improvement via constant detailed feedback from tutors. I have been taught vital key skills, such as how to create a video, audio, web and written content, closely managed by professionals who have worked in the field. However, sometimes content can be a little unclear in the unit specification. This is however very quickly and professionally rectified through lecturers and tutors, who strive to ensure we have a developed understanding of this content.

I love my university. I am currently pursuing MA Strategic fashion marketing from London college Fashion. The program is very knowledgeable so far. The way of teaching is very creative. Obviously you have to pull up your socks as there are a lot of assignments.

UAL is an open place for everyone! No matter your age or interest! I have completed so many courses which no only allowed me to appear on the map within the industry that I wanted to work but they also allowed me to succeed which I can only thank UAL for creating such wide and interesting courses.

As a student of media studies studying MA in Advertising I know how difficult it can be for a student to explore and work their way through a dynamic industry that’s exciting yet challenging through and through. However, the University of the Arts London (UAL) was an obvious choice for me when I decided to pursue a post-graduation and here’s why.
-As an international student I definitely sought after credentials and UAL is the 2nd university in the world ranking for art and design
– Most colleges end their semesters with long essays and dissertations, however, UAL’s MA Advertising focused on honing your existing strengths and building a compelling portfolio
– The course promoted studying outside the four walls of your classroom
– Professors and the staff were the first points of contact who aided everyone and anyone
– Live briefs were a crucial part of the course that were used as opportunities to network and communicate with clients in the real world
– Whether it was knowledge, career support, or supplies the resources at our disposal were endless
– Furthermore, the integrated college system allowed students to explore a world other than their specialisation
– The course connected us to an extensive alumni network who solved my many queries and provided referrals whenever necessary
– The weekly assignments kept me on my toes and prompted me to think on cue challenging my creative and critical thinking skills
– The overall structure of the course has helped me enhance imperative skills that’ll aid me in my journey to work as a creative strategist and create adverts which will appeal to a global market
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed every second of my time at UAL and found myself taking shape as an employable professional who can step into the industry and solve business problems.
Lastly, the best part of being at UAL was – it always felt like I belonged here and I was always treated like a professional who was already in the industry and held the ability to produce revolutionary work.

Amazing facilities but could be easier to book. Tutors don’t give much feedback and we barely had classes on the last year. A lot of independence which can be good and bad. Very short deadlines for intense projects and need to invest a lot of your own money to make them happen.
