I've Been To Several Uni's To See Their Courses But Im Confused

Which Is The Best Fashion Design Course?


well, if u r interested to stay in london, csm, kingston, lcf may be ur chose,
but if u want away from london, man met, northumbria and nottingham trent!!

there is no the best fashion course, it will depend on ur personal preference...
like the city, the uni NSS(student satisfaction rate from final year student),...
u should set it up first!!

hope it helps
:rolleyes:

Depends what fashion you want to do.
I'm applying for Westminster and it's perfect for me, plus is just generally amazing. But then I want to work for an avant garde couture house. Kingston's good for knit, outisde of london nottingham trent, man met, and northumbria are good.
What kind of fashion are you into? And how good's your work? A lot of the london unis are nearly impossible to get into.

I wouldn't recommend CSM firts of all, I think the fashion there is ****. Yes, it's a big name, but so what? I go to one of the colleges under the UAL, so kind of school mates with people at CSM, I have come across with fashion students from CSM, they are mostly not that friendly and mean, and of course, they always they are the best in the world... I am sick of them. People from LCF is better and more relistic I think.

The BA at CSM is ****, the MA is amazing.

i've had interviews at central lancashire, central england (uce birmingham) & northampton & got epsom creative arts next week, then got work to send to man met & waiting on northumbria.

tutor at northampton asked why i chose them cause they're all so different but i just wanted to go to places i haven't been before [even though i live half an hour away from newcastle & manchester's a pretty generic city to visit]

northampton's got wonderful facilities & space & nice projects but the town's realllly small.
epsom is lovely with modern buildings, pretty town & close to london, which means it's more expensive
preston (uclan) has a pretty nice city centre but facilities are quite small with not much space but you do the industrial placement for a year whereas northampton doesn't have a placement & epsom is only 6 weeks (even then you have to chose promotion or design after year 0 & i'm currently doing a foundation course so it's pretty pointless)
then man met & northumbria were back ups.

i think as long as the facilities are nice enough & the town/city is big enough to meet new people & have a lot of fun with places nearby to visit/easy place to get to & the tutors are friendly, then it's just up to where you think you'll be able to cope with.

why u choose northumbria as ur back up only??!!

since among all, northumbria should be the first choice, they have the best london fashion week result.....2 student got into the final top ten and the winners got to northumbria win (20000 pounds)......and of course good job coming afterwards.
and man met also got 3 student into the final top ten, and got the runner up award.
to me it should be ur second choice....

and epson will be the 3 choice, remember employer will look at where u come from!!

the very last choice will be northampton and uclan.

why, u choose like this my dear, since u got so good list of choice/offer, i 'm just concern??!!
bla bla bla.......:eek:

Epsom has great industry links actually. I had an interview there yesterday and was blown away. I'm seriously considering going there over Westminster, that's how good it is.

There's no point listing who won what at graduate fashion week because they're all individuals, not the actual universities.

not agree!!

3 out of ten fianlist are from mmu and 2 out of ten from northumbria, that is not individual case, that is a group of quality people, unless i am saying 1 out of the ten finalist!!

and i'm just don't understand why the choice order is so odd !!

but remember studying or working with talented and hard working people will benefit u and ur work and that is for 3 years!!:biggrin:
