- I like that it is a specialist institution and smaller than some of the other universities that I looked at with more of a community feel.
- The course has extensive industry links, more so than some of the other courses I looked at. You are also encouraged to find work placements which I think is important and was something that other universities didn't seem to encourage as much.
- I hated my admin job and wanted to do something I enjoy and am passionate about, I knew I would regret not taking the risk and giving it a shot.
- I wanted to move away from my small hometown and move somewhere with a bit more going on and also to meet more like minded people. I liked the idea of moving to Leeds as I wanted to move to a city but not somewhere too big and my boyfriend lives close to Leeds.
- My interview went well which was important as I had some awful interviews when applying to university the first time around. I also found talking to a second year student after my interview really helpful and it definitely helped me to make my decision.
5 things that I want to learn during my time on the course
- I am keen to learn screen printing and other manual processes as I have only worked digitally before and am looking forward to being able to experiment with new techniques.
- I would like to learn more about myself, my strengths and weaknesses and also to develop my own design style.
- I would like to learn more about working within the creative industries through visiting professionals, live briefs and work placements.

- I am keen to learn more about the design process from initial ideas to finished product.

- My best friend Sophie inspired me to take a risk and to go back to university to do something that I enjoy and am passionate about.
