Student review [#18299] for Illustration
at University of the Arts London - UAL

The course I did lacked technical classes and was a waste of 3 years. You came in to present projects to students and tutors, that’s it. Tutors’ feedback was often very general and had very little to do with your project. You could be making a comic and then be told to make expressive work for no reason. There were more students than services; these days it seems to be the norm to cram as many students as possible to fill spaces.

Tutors said there were lots of job prospects in art but there really isn’t. Unfortunately many I know including myself are working for min wage, some are unemployed and are now queuing up for benefits as they have reached a last resort. You will find yourself in this position after finishing the course. I wouldn’t recommend this uni as it sells a false dream.
