2012 Uni Applicants for Photography

I got a place on the commercial photography course too Are you going to an accommodation day? x

Ooh what day?! I'm on Tuesday I haven't done a foundation either. :L

Ahh! Well I was going on Tuesday but I've had to reschedule to the Friday. I just remember when I went to the open day they were very against accepting people who haven't done a foundation. But I guess they must've seen something they liked when I sent them my work. Nervous!

Ahh awesome Yeah i am, the one on the 5th july. Are you? x

Ah man, I'm on the 6th! Not sure what to expect though, you going into a house? x

Oh no! that sucks haha, yeah should be, apparently halls only go to international students as there isn't that many do you have facebook or anything? would be good to add some people who are gonna be on the course! x

Hey, i was just gonna ask you how the facilities for photography were since you went on an open day? I live abroad, and so my ability to go to these open days is very limited, so any kind of information about the equipment they have, darkrooms, cameras, etc. would be much appreciated! also, the whole thing about the foundation diploma being necessary is i guess in some cases true, but i know people who have gotten offers straight from high school, so hopefully that kinda eases your nerves for the interview. best of luck!

sorry about the long question, i just really want to know what other students think of the university. and btw, i had a telephone interview before so if you have any questions about some stuff, feel free to ask me.

Ummmm well I went a while ago and my memory isn't fantastic but I'll try my best! The darkrooms were pretty standard, as they're all pretty much the same wherever you go. Compared to other places I've been to the studios and the computer/scanning suite had pcs rather than iMac's which I found a bit disappointing. It all just looked a bit tired and needed a bit of a revamp. But to be honest it's not all about that, as the course is really highly regarded and Brighton itself is amazing, it looks like such a lovely place to live and there's tonnes to do. So I guess you could think that it has a nice balance between the course/uni and as a place to live, which has been a problem for me as Falmouth Uni itself is amazing and the facilities are brilliant but there doesn't seem to be much to do outside of Uni without you having to travel etc. Sorry this is getting really long now!
If you could tell me the sorts of questions they asked you then that'd be great! Have they given you an offer?

I know! not looking forward to doing a 5 minute presentation though!

I just accepted my unconditional offer from Falmouth to do photography. Is anyone thinking of going there.

Glad to hear everyones interviews seem to be going well!
So far I've got two conditionals

Didn't get into Plymouth.. but I didn't really like it that much the building was so "depressing" and seemed quite dull ! So I'm not too bothered about that I prefer Plymouth College of Art the people there seem alot more nicer and their equipment room is AMAZING I got a conditional for there and prefer it to Plymouth Uni

Still waiting to hear from Falmouth.. I had an interview for fashion photography last week.. said they'd get back to us within 48hours but still heard nothing anyone else heard back yet? Falmouth is amazing although their interviews are very different to everywhere else ive been!!

got an unconditional from glasgow school of art today XD

congratulations! did you apply for 2012/2013?

yep, really excited about it too, tho the move from london to glasgow might shock me. did you apply?

yes deferred entry.
i think glasgow is really a warm-hearted city so you'll be fine.
