When I came for my open day at NTU I immediately fell in love.
We walked around the Bonington Building where all the art studios were and it lot a fire of desire inside of me. Fully equipped and spacious studios with everything you need to let your creative desire out. Also on the walls were student acknowledgments where they had displayed exceptional work by the students. An amazing gallery space inspired me to create my best work to have displayed. I felt excited at the scene of this university, I knew it would allow me to unleash my creativity and discover more about my passions. There was an art shop in the Bonington building which made me feel like a child as Christmas. If I could go back to uni to study again it would definitely be here at NTU for a second time.

The illustration programme for masters is what I am pursuing at NTU. It is a rare specialization which they provide and wonderfully so. The teaching method and course structure is well thought of and has provided me with alot of exposure in ters of creativity.

Honestly, I loved university. The work, the nightlife, the living alone diaries, the deadlines, the ups, the downs. It was all worth it. Yeah, there were times I wanted to cry but it added to the experience! I studied Graphic Design undergraduate at Nottingham Trent University, and have just graduated. My course has led me to meet some people I will be friends with for life and broadened my creative skill set in ways I can’t imagine. One thing I would say to people studying this course is that you have to be very self-motivated and inspired by your course. It is 80% remote learning and working and that only goes down each year. Personally, I really didn’t mind this as I love going to a coffee shop on my own and typing away on my laptop. However, if you are someone that prefers a lot of in-person teaching I would think about this before applying. Nevertheless, I can barely say anything bad about my course and my university experience in general, I absolutely adored every minute of it and know I’m going to miss it in years to come.

Overall I had liked NTU where I did media and German. The media course was a bit dry and lacked creativity, but it wasn’t bad. The German was really well taught… it’s a shame they closed the language programme now.

I studied fashion marketing and branding and loved the course. So interactive and fun to work with live brands. The social life at uni made it 100x better with societies like snow sports and cocktail socials.

I really enjoy my course however, because it started all online it’s been harder to focus and really get into the subject, but I enjoy the content and the way they are set out and the people on the course are like-minded.

Student life at this uni is amazing, the city is built for students, I can’t comment on other courses by DFTV is really worth the fees, contact time is high and the tutors care about your well-being and future.

Before starting university, I was very nervous, however excited to start. From the first day Trent made the whole experience of starting university easy and enjoyable. As someone who loves being at home, the idea of moving to a different city was very daunting, but Trent made me feel welcome. Nottingham is a great city and has many social events to attend. Additionally, the university holds many events throughout the year so that you can meet new people.
I’m about to go into my third year studying Design for TV & Film, and I feel like the course has helped me to grow so much as a person, and a designer. I would highly recommend this university.
