Overall score
This tiny cramped spot in Walcott Terrace, Bath costs £2,500 a year for one days tuition and the student has to pay for weekly therapy for the whole six or seven years (depending on whether counselling or psychotherapy option chosen) Therapy is £35 at least per session. The few students in my group were all very rich very competitive and very unaware of everyday life for the average non-rich person (like me) I found and discussions about villas in France abounded. I was shouted at in the dicussion sessions and when I defended myself was made fun of many times by tutors who use it as a free for all it seems be superior. I found the staff of two were unable to be objective and had an obvious favourite who they defiended no matter what so the group therapy was a joke. I felt that I was sinking in a morass of self-regard and career moves with no one being really that 'into' the client. This is a career move for some rich people who frankly would not be tolerated in the average office or place of employment due to their spoilt ways.
Study experience
Under qualified tutors who seem to regard themselves as deeply important and capable when comments made in class and on my essays were biased, unacademic I feel and irrelevant even. One tutor is an Irish lady who really cannot ever ever ever be wrong and has an ego the size of Britain. It was horrible because they kept telling us to be real and so on but if any truth came out they made fun of the truth-teller (ie me mostly about their favouritism for a particuar student). Arrogant male tutor trying to get close to the female students revolting. I was exhausted from an early time but had spent a lot of money on the course and felt it would be wasted if I left mid-way.
Facilities
Library a joke with no order or record of books. BCPC calls itself a charity but it is raking in a fortune from these course which, if you go on til the end, last six or seven years. Greedy attitude about payment also.
Postgraduate life
No one was friendly some even made jokes about me while I was there and I did not deserve it but was alone in not being a rich deeply confident person
Job prospects
Employers of counsellors and therapists rate this place highly it seems but they have no idea what a crap place it is. Students are required to do hardly any written work and so even the laziest rich kid can get to be a therapist and earn a lot as a result. I have nothing against rich people but everyone on the course was very very privileged and prvately educated which is not their fault I know. But they feel they have a right to a big income and therapy learned here is too easy to BS through I feel - especially if you are a tutors favourite (one female cried every week really and got so much attention for it that it seemed fake after a whlie as she was different when the tutors were not around).

Overall score
I had completed an undergraduate Art History degree before enrolling in the masters in Fine and Decorative Art at Sotheby's Institute of Art, London. I found that the standard was significantly lower than what I had experienced at university in that the majority of students did not come from a strong background in art history. Many were communication majors, English, business or even science- basically any graduates who desired a "career change". In fact, in order to gain entry into the course you need 1) a degree (any kind) and 2) close to 20,000 pounds. As a result most lacked sound analytical and research skills.
Study experience
The lectures were very much targeted towards people who had no background of art history and could be compared with first year level university lectures. Contrary to all university masters degrees in art history however, there was no mandatory reading as the philosophy of the course is centered upon "object-based learning". However, this approach to art history when not supported by the study of an object's historical, aesthetic, cultural and political contexts is fairly useless. The course also claims to focus on techniques and materials, and while there is certainly value in learning from this perspective the course does not in the end teach you much more than how to identify a few different woods and that tempera paint dries at a faster rate than oil paint.
Facilities
The Institute is small and limited, not that well set up for students. The library was small and you had to rely on the Art Library at the V&A and the British Library for most of your research. There are not enough computers.
Postgraduate life
No postgraduate life really. Close friends keep in touch.
Job prospects
It claims to prepare you for auction house careers and other commercial art careers. Sotheby's auction house reserves (in 2008-09) 30 places for students (in all departments not just Fine and Decorative Art) to work as interns for 3 months, full time (including lots of overtime) and unpaid (transport and lunch expenses are not covered). This significantly narrows down the amount of people who are able to apply as only a minority can afford to live in London unpaid for 3 months with no guarantee of a job at the end (paid positions come up very seldom) and then if you are an international student (of which most in the course are) there is the additional problem of visas. While the course and the internship does certainly give you a decent chance to land yourself a paid full time job in the commercial art sector, the whole endeavour is expensive and quite frankly commercial art professionals, such as auction house experts, do not earn substantial amounts contrary to popular belief (you will earn more being an art history professor). Of the students in my class those who could afford to do the internship did, those who couldn't looked for months for paid work in the arts and most did not succeed (there are simply more people searching for jobs than there are jobs in the arts) and ended up in retail or administration in order to survive. Others simply changed career paths and pursued other goals.

Overall score
Be open minded. Respect everyone you meet and you will make lots of friends.
Study experience
Do background reading throughout the year. That way, when you do leave things for the last minute, you will still know what you are talking about.
Facilities
Library excellent. Several good bars, and good sports hall with wide variety of activities.
Postgraduate life
There are societies for everything so there is a lot of choice.
Job prospects
My course is very much aimed at getting into the industry and has strong links to it.
