“I’m studying the UAL Creative Practice Level 3 Art and Design course, along with an Extended Project Qualification, which I’m really enjoying. I chose Stanmore College because it’s the most convenient location for me, but also because of the amazing facilities in the Art department. They’ve given me the chance to work with new mediums and equipment I hadn’t used before. When I attended the open days, I felt like it was the right fit for me. The smaller class sizes mean I get more one-on-one time with my teachers, which really helps. Overall, the course is going well. I get to spend more time doing what I love, art, and I’m building a strong portfolio to help me get into my chosen university. My goal is to study at a UAL university, and since Stanmore runs UAL courses, they’re closely connected to those universities. We even get visits from specialist course speakers who share valuable advice. It’s a great College, and I’m glad I chose it!”
