Edinburgh college of arts for interior design

I'm starting university in 2025 and have seen a few universities closer to me, but I won't be able to attend an open day for Edinburgh college of arts because its too far away for a day trip, does anyone have any advice or information on the course, quality of learning or the area? And if it's actually worth applying to the university.

Hiya! I hope that you're well. I'm a Graphic Design student at Norwich University of the Arts and totally know how it feels to be stuck trying to decide on a Uni!

My top tip would be to request a prospectus from a variety of universities (I think I got about 12 even though I knew half of them I definitely wouldn't be applying for), this is a great way to be able to read about course content from a few different courses in a few different universities. You can find our prospectus here where you can request one for free. Alternatively, we have information on all of our courses here: Norwich Uni Arts courses.

Attending university open days can also help you to get a feel for each university and what it would be like to study there as well as meet current students. A list of our upcoming events can be found here: Norwich Uni Arts Open Days. I personally found that attending as many of these as possible really helped me out.

Good luck in choosing a course, I know it can be daunting. Happy to answer any questions.
Charlotte, Student Ambassador.
