Hey I'm a 2nd year (going on 3rd year) graphics student and I'm going on my work placement year in a few months time. The course is very supportive towards the year in industry/study abroad modules and is encouraged by all the staff!

Hey, I've applied for G&CD! Do u enjoy studying this course at Leeds? :}

Yeah I really enjoy it, it's a bit of a struggle at first especially if you've never done anything graphic related before but there're plenty of opportunities to get to know your class in the first few weeks/months but I can't stress enough dont be shy to talk in class - getting feedback from your group is important so you'll get more out of it and you'll make friends a lot faster!

Thanks for your answers so far.
How often do you have to meet up with your class to give feedback and how often do you have lectures? Is there a lot of free time of your own?

You meet up once a week for 4 hours (not sure if they've changed the timetable for freshers though!) and you'll have around 4 lectures a week, you get a good amount of time on your own to work on your sketchbooks/essays/projects.
