Which London University is the best in Communication / Media / Design?

Question

I'm looking for a Bachelor to study. Need some advice on the choice of school.

Answer 1

London University of Arts is one, below is some other ones (they are in the London Area) with the web sites that might be of some use, they will give you some info:

Answer 2

I would not get too obsessed about how good or bad universities are.

In reality it is not the university that you attend which is the important factor in your future career success but the quality of your qualifications and the type of person you are.

I work as a chartered accountant and a few years ago when I left university and was interviewed by KPMG I asked the interviewer whether the university that I attended would have any bearing on whether I would be offered a job or not. The interviewer told me that KPMG was not interested in which university their applicants had attended. All they were interested in where their A-level grades, degree class (which had to be a 2.1 or better) and the personality and life experiences of the individual applicants.

Instead of getting obsessed about so called university league tables and the like, my advice to you would be to concentrate solely on working hard and getting the best qualifications that you can.

Remember that 38% of university students now study at their local universities in order to keep their debts to a minimum by living at home. These individuals have obviously realised that the institution they are attending has less of a bearing of their future career than the quality of their qualifications and they are right!

Answer 3

I'd recommend looking at:

University of the Arts London (which is where I go, and so am slightly biased towards!):
http://www.arts.ac.uk/

Goldsmiths College (Part of the University of London):
http://www.goldsmiths.ac.uk/

London South bank University:
http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/

And maybe Ravensbourne too -it's in Kent, but not too far from London, and specialises in design and communication courses:
http://www.rave.ac.uk/

I hope that helps, good luck choosing! xx
