Student Reviews
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
To be completely honest, I was very scared to start university just because this is the first time I have lived somewhere on my own. However, the student support center has really helped with this and I feel that I am fully capable of being my own person now. My course is absolutely amazing and I have been able to knock out 1st on every exam so far and it feels amazing....
Great

The professional scope of this course was a very valuable boost for my growth as a photography practitioner. The balance between academic assessment and creative freedom was a key aspect of this successful experience, leaving an open door to constant innovation and experimentation in the arts sphere.
