Postgraduate Design reviews
Design and Digital Media MA
Coventry University
Oliver, August 2008Overall score
The university is good but it isn't campus based, it is set around the city of Coventry.
THe university business links are superb and the design facilities are fantastic.
You need to enroll on time and go to your lectures.
Study experience
THe course is good but effort is up to you.
The lecture support is there if you ask for it. Don't be shy.
Facilities
THe library is good but there are not enough computers to go around if you're there too late or during lecture hours between 12-4 too busy too.
Postgraduate life
I was a member of the university swimming team, the sports clubs are well organised but it's not all interlinked.
Job prospects
THe most important thing as a post grad I will say is work experience!
Get contacts and involved with things that will help you for future employment.
There are oppertunities but you have to look for them.

International Contemporary Art and Design Practice MA
University Of East London
Lynn, August 2009Overall score
I didn't get anything out of the course because the programme leaders for MA Contemporary Art & Design Practice couldn't support me at all.
If you intended to do a postgraduate course in graphic design or digital art you would be best off studying somewhere else!
Programme leaders and personal tutors did their entire degree in fine arts. No need to say that you won't get any useful support and advice in the other fields. In addition you won't get the assessment you deserved as they won't know what you have done at the end, especially when you are a graphic designer and your expertise is web design, editorial, corporate design, publishing and advertising.
There isn't any assessment regulation and you wont get any independent or professional examiners in the mentioned field as well.
They don't care about students, just money. The campus is pretty, but noisy and windy because of the planes.
Study experience
Once a week one to one tutorials if wished.
But as mentioned before if your field of study isn't fine arts you won't get any useful support or recommendation.
You will lose your time traveling to UEL and get a 5-10 minutes appointment where you even have to explain what you want to do or have done so that they would notice that you are working on a project but still they won't be able to give useful help.
I would recommend group appointment if you have the feeling the personal tutor isn't able to give the deserved support you have paid for so that other course members can help out if you need someone's opinion.
The course is not big, around 6-7 students and predominantly oversea students.
Tuition fees are very high for the poor teaching service and support.
You can have one to one tutorials with just one tutor or if you are lucky and complain another one to choose from, but both are only experienced in fine arts.
EU/ Home: 4890£
International: 11900£
Facilities
Library is big and got plenty of computers, but not all of them work. All in all it is great and open often (not all the time) 24 hours.
Working places at AVA for postgraduate students in visual communication are not suitable. I got s tiny place and a shabbily small desk between fine arts student. I attended just few times with my MacBook and chose to work at home because of the oil painting and terpentine smell that caused me headache.
Postgraduate life
Don't know any.
Job prospects
No support or advice on building a suitable portfolio for your career.
This MA course is the worst thing that happened in my life!
I wasted one year and paid around 5000£ for very poor teaching service.
I would advice you all first to inform about the course, lectures, programme leaders etc. and then to apply.
If you are sure you would get the support from a qualified tutor in your field then you are safe and it's all on you to make the best of the year.
Good luck!
