Dance Student

My Open Day was really insightful. The tutors gave us an overview of all the courses in the dance department, which helped me strengthen my choice. There was also a dance lesson, which I found helpful as I understood what I would be getting myself into.

Aiden

3D Animation & VFX Student

Visiting an Open Day was the reason why I came here. I got to talk to one of my lecturers one-on-one, and we had a half-hour chat about how great the course is. His passion for teaching rubbed off on me and instantly made me want to come here.
