I got a place at Sunderland uni for the top up year in graphic design! After visiting this university and hearing about the course and what they have to offer I feel that this would be best for me. They have amazing facilities, and still have the opportunity for placements, which are very important to help me develop further and gain more knowledge ready to enter the industry. Placements will give me the chance to learn more about what skills are necessary for working in design. They have a number of workspaces and we as graphic design students have the chance to use any other area of the creative departments. Also, this course is solely based on graphic design whereas the Creative Practice course at Newcastle college is for a variety of subject areas all on one course.
