Postgraduate Reviews of Courses at Goldsmiths, University of London

Goldsmiths offers an inclusive and collaborative work environment where students from various backgrounds are encouraged to work together in exciting and transformative ways. The staff are also immensely supportive and are more than equipped to help their students if needs be. read full review
Incredibly enlightening and valuable experience. The course covered a wide range of topics, from the fundamentals of political messaging to media and democracy. The instructor's expertise and real-world examples brought the subject matter to life. Their ability to bridge the gap between theory and practice was truly impressive. I appreciated the practical exercises and case studies that allowed me to apply the concepts we learned in a hands-on manner, plus very diverse perspectives and experiences! Goldsmiths is really a good choice for anyone wants to get involved in politics. I recently got a chance to run a real political campaign which is amazing both for my experience as well as my CV. read full review

Overall pretty decent compared to the us and cheaper! read full review
Our student support is absolutely abysmal. They moved over to a centralised system last year, from my understanding, and got rid of most of the admin staff. None of the student support phone numbers or emails work anymore, so for any issues or inquiries you have you have to go through one central form that then sits in an inbox and gets looked at every couple of weeks. It takes WEEKS to get responses on anything, including urgent matters such as tax forms and important forms for student loans. My student loans were held up for weeks because I wasn't able to get in touch with anyone to fill them out. This is the worst student support experience I've ever encountered. read full review
While the general energy of the university is lovely, a lot of the student experience could be improved.
Redundancies have meant that many important tasks get swept under the rug or completely forgotten about such. Timetabling seems super hectic such that rooms and times change frequently, making it difficult to keep up. AL's aren't getting paid on time, and the organization in the department seems chaotic in general. Overall, there is a lack of responsiveness that makes many students feel abandoned. read full review
The community at Goldsmiths is so creative and accepting, you can tell everyone enjoys the space and they feel supported to continue on their own path. All the courses are very interesting with all of the modules being inclusive and always looking forwards as well as looking into the past. The lecturers always know how to bring the very best out of each student. In the Music department there are lots of interesting ensembles you can join and perform in concert with. There are also very supportive pastoral centres within Goldsmiths, they have a very good disability and wellbeing services. read full review
Overall, great experience. Maybe more things to help meet people and students would be good. read full review
