Hi! That's great to hear that you're considering a creative course at uni! I'm Charlotte, a year 2 Graphic Design student at Norwich Uni Arts.

My top tip would be to attend open days or request prospectuses from the unis that you would like to look into. The UniBiddy platform is also a good way to connect with current students from each course at each univeristy. For example, our Graphic Communication students are happy to answer any questions here.

Open days are a great way to view your chosen universities, meet the current students and tutors and get a feel for the environment. I hope this helps, I know that choosing a uni can be a really daunting process. Happy to answer ny further questions.

GSA is a much better regarded course. It's a relatively theoretical/experimental/adventurous kind of course, rather than industry-facing, but that what makes it good. Uni of Leeds isn't bad, but it's no better than the other two graphic design degrees in Leeds
