What I enjoyed most about the Foundation course was the community atmosphere, and the fact that there is no limits to what materials you can use. You can also get involved in university life, stay in halls, and get to know people from different degree courses. It is fun, experimental, and freeing to work outside of the pressure of A-levels or a degree.
One of my highlights was going to a talk on sustainable fashion by Patrick Grant, which was inspiring and provided a great insight into the future of fashion. On my foundation course I really enjoyed going on trips with friends to galleries, especially ones organised by the university as it gives you the opportunity to discuss the exhibitions with tutors too.
I have also loved being on my placement year, getting an insight in what it is like to live and work in London. The degree course prepared me well for this move, giving me the confidence and tools to apply to internships.
