BA in Design - Batch of 2023

Offered by Goldsmiths, University of London

4.1

Good learning environment and helpful faculty.

Tips: I was an introvert to say the least. This university gave me the wings to take off, express myself and my views creatively and am glad to say that I'm a changed person altogether than how I was when I joined in 2019. I'd applied through clearing, hence didn't avail any scholarships, but people do get options of it, quite decent ones.

Likes (Quality of faculty): In my time at Goldsmiths, I never had to worry about the tutors at all. Each of them possesses the best knowledge from reputed institutes that they've graduated from, and the way they impart knowledge, as well as the ticks and methods they use, is quite commendable. Since I studied design, there would be interesting lectures and workshops for us to understand things. I would any day go back and get back to being taught by them. We had British tutors in our course, but some were Asian, South African, and of Indian descent.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Around Goldsmiths University of London, New Cross, Indian food is available but mediocre as you would find in central London or towards Wembley. They have takeaway options and many restaurants are 15-20 minutes away by public transport. I preferred cooking myself to have fresh food and dietary restrictions being a Jain. But, I would also eat out once in a while, not always Indian. But, apart from Indian food, there are many other restaurants and takeaways that are quite amazing - multiple cuisines are available in the area - Italian, Lebanese, Turkish, Pan Asian, and of good quality. There are many amazing cafes too.

MA in Brands, Communication & Culture - Batch of 2024

Offered by Goldsmiths, University of London

4.2

An all encompassing system and experience.

Tips: People here are politically and socially woke, and very welcoming. Extremely liberal and friendly environment. A great balance between social and academic lives. Sensitive to the needs and expectations of the students such as neurodivergence, mental healthcare, gender and orientation, accessibilities. Very satisfied.

Likes (Public transportation): There's an overground station right across the campus. Two bus stops a few hundred metres apart from each other, both close to the university premises. A DLR station within a 15-minute radius. Extremely accessible with several pubs and cafes around. Fun arts culture, great experience. A liberal atmosphere.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The UK is currently going through a period of recession which has reduced the scope of immigration and settlement options in the country. Permanent immigration seems like a considerable option however, given the new immigration laws and the recession that's going on in the UK immigrating isn't as easy as it once was.
