(UK) Part-Time Graphic Design Course Reviews

Gets a lot of glowing reviews but I think it depends where you study. I was at the Manchester campus both before and during lockdowns and the tutors were under lots of pressure. The first class I was put in before any lockdown had over 20 students so it was very stretched. It’s a large workload and very difficult to manage with a full time job, especially when you start from absolute scratch so be aware of that. One of the tutors put my work on a scale of “0-5” with “0 being absolute sh*te”, asked me “what the fu*k is that?” and also told me during portfolio time “I can’t wait to get this over with” which I found super unprofessional. Whilst I did learn a lot, my overall experience was disappointing. It ran itself as a business first and foremost, making you feel as though you’re an employer rather than a paying customer.
