I chose to study the course at Loughborough due to its diversity in the programme. At the time of applying I had wanted to study solely Graphic Design, but the inclusion of illustration interested me, and I eventually leant towards illustration and now work as a full-time illustrator. The ambassadors on the open day were friendly and approachable and were able to answer any questions I had about the course, it seemed like a friendly place to be.
The tutors, especially in final year, were excellent in giving feedback and pushing the students to achieve the best of their abilities. With most of the tutors still working in their industries they were always happy to answer questions on live briefs and had invaluable knowledge. I am so grateful for the support and advice from the tutors. The screen-printing facilities were amazing, and I wish I had taken more time to use these.
