Program Reviews

Nida and the other guests that were brought in: Nina, Ollie, Eva, Nicole, Onome and others were in red knowledgeable as well as kind. Nida created a sense of community and highlighted the importance of it in the creative industry. There was no better way I could have been introduced to the creative industries in London. It’s clear how skilled Nida is, and that she is incredibly well read and well informed. She showed us many interesting places in London that enhanced our understanding of the Industries. The course has helped me beyond the class as well, having read 2 books Nida suggested as well as in my current semester-long class work. I loved this class and would highly recommend to anyone interested in London culture and artistic industry. Or just anyone who has an open mind.

The program itself was great! I really enjoyed my time at UAL. The classes where taught in a very interesting manner and I was impressed by the new and innovative approach the professors had. We were asked to think about fashion in more ways than just as clothing and invited to take inspiration from architecture, the people of london, history and much more. I gained skills in draping and made a final product at the end. I would recommend the project for anyone wanting to know what it feels like what the whole design process from inspiration to runway feeling like and wants to spend a nice summer in London!

An incredible experience, learned a lot about the industry and how fashion is not only garments but also culture, experiences, art. The tutors are amazing they share their knowledge with you and guide you in your work. The mandatory classes are amazing you learn a lot about the city, fashion and your classmates. To me the best class was fashion photography, the tutor lets you take the photos the way you want, explore the camera and find your own style. I definitely recommend this program if you want to expand you fashion vision and as well meet people from other parts of the world

The classes were a lot of work but definitely paid off in the end. I liked all the welcoming programs towards the beginning of the semester as they helped me overcome any homesickness and meet other students in the program outside of our classes! I do wish during orientation there was a little bit more direction in terms of how the school is set up and our classes, as I felt that we were kind of just thrown into our classes and programs. Other than that, for the short three months abroad and for the first time being outside of the country personally, I definitely had a good time and learned a lot about myself and being outside the U.S!

Moving to London and attending LCF during my college career was an experience I will never forget. I was able to have hands on experiences with industry professionals and other fashion creatives, unlike my education in the US. I was able to work with other students around the world on projects that will be influential to my career and experiences in the fashion industry. It has been about 2 years since I attended LCF and I still discuss experiences I had there in job interviews. London College of Fashion gave me new opportunities I wasn’t able to have in the middle of cornfields and gave me a new perspective on my career and life in general.

I highly recommend attending this program! It was truly a transformative experience, one that encouraged me to expand the way I think about art and artmaking. I felt fully immersed in the program and was not treated any differently from the local students. I did find London, in general, difficult to navigate safely - being followed home by strange men several times. Overall, though, I definitely recommend attending this program! It was really great.

Studying at UAL: LCF absolutely without a doubt changed my life ultimately for the better. The academic program was rigorous and insightful, with help of all tutors by your side. The culture, the academics and the endless possibilities made living in London and unforgettable experience. Due to my studies at LCF, I have been working in fashion for the last 5 years. I recently launched my own e-commerce company which we are now adding brick and mortar and I thank LCF for teaching me how to navigate this.

Well sheeeesh, my UAL expereince was something special. So much so that I had to pinch myself each morning to make sure I was aware and taking in everything. I lived at Will Wyatt Court in Shorditch x Hoxton area, a prime spot to live. In that building I met studies from all 6 UAL schools, including Chelsea College of Art where I was attending. This afforded me the opportunity to make friends from around the globe who had come to London with unique focuses and were attending slightly different universities. At Chelsea I met more people throguh the Y2 Fine-Art program who welcomed me in and together, we began to create. Within the first week, we were each given a few studios to choose from and share. I am very grateful for the studio space and group of people that I was able to work with. If you get the chance... just do it. oh and lastly, ArtRabbit. Cheers

This course gave me the opportunity to learn different techniques to develop even more my creativity and find my own visual identity in every project that I make. I had time to experiment new things without being afraid if it was going to work or not, cause every mistake you make is one more step to the success. I would recommend to anyone looking for an improvement in your career. You'll have the opportunity to try new materials and techniques each day with amazing professionals by your side, giving you the help needed. At the end of the course, you'll be able to see how each person have your own style, working on the same project. It's an amazing experience that will improve for sure my future personal projects and even my knowledge about the textile area.

My summer exchange at the University of Art London - LCC was very rewarding. I had a great time exploring the City of London and a lovely moment to encounter the people from Europe.

The classes there were very useful because we can learn about writing in a range of genres. All my writing is posted on my blog - https://chikhinwai.wixsite.com/website.

The most massive challenge in the classes is to make a zine in a week time. Even so, we completed it in time. In my reported feature, I had noted the problem of homeless people in London. Thus, I tried interviewing homeless people and charity in London. This experience was fabulous, I can't imagine the homelessness is an ongoing concern in the UK.

In conclusion, this three-week time is unbelievable. I have only been here for a month, but the memories I made would be unforgettable for a lifetime.

If you a looking for a Journalism course, then this course should be your first choice. Not only having a great time in the UK but also get some journalistic practice in the three-weeks time.
