Summer Study Abroad at UAL

UAL Study abroad is generally an excellent opportunity to explore teaching methods in other countries and cultures. If you are studying textiles, this might be too easy. However, it is also an excellent time to build up your current practice, skills and portfolio. It is also a great time to earn extra credit for your home school. You might be able to access the studio equipment, such as Heat Transfer Machines, Dye labs, Printing labs, etc.…
Deborah is a lovely, supportive and friendly instructor, although some minor issues exist. Still, everything goes right and perfectly!

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!

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.

I loved how the course showed me London and architecture in a unique way, I got to enroll in local projects and get to know some amazing places as well as projects, it helped me to see architecture in a new way, and also to explore architecture. We did everything by hand, instead of doing it by computer, which was a new way of doing and designing things, at first I didn’t enjoyed it that much but then I realized how many details you can see and add by doing everything by hand! At last I really enjoyed it and i hope to apply it in my future projects at my school! The activities that I enjoyed the most was the walking around London, I got to know London as a real local and also I explored almost every corner of London, I loved how my teacher explained every single detail of every corner in London.

First of all, I would like to say that this project has helped me fulfill my dream of trying to do a theater design.
Second, the curriculum is really good. Leaving us three days a week, but also can ensure that the course is very professional, and really fruitful. Three days a week is enough for me to feel London by watching kinds of London performances, visiting London creative markets and museums. Then during class time, the teacher will watch exhibitions, perform and visit the studio and theater backstage with us. The experience of seeing exhibitions together is completely different from doing that by myself , while visiting we can discussing, it really has a great benefit. And the teacher will also recommend a lot of small museums to us.
Based on our reactions to these exhibitions and performances we have seen, we develop our own storyboard and make models to make our ideas come true. In this complete process, the teacher treats us all as independent designers and listens to our ideas to help us solve the problem. The process of finding out the problem and solving the problem has made me very fruitful. Even if my original major was jewelry design, I could still get something useful for me to prepare my own collection of design works in the future.
Because there are not many people in a class, teacher have the energy to give advice and help to everyone.
So I think it is very friendly for people who come to London to travel, the student who come to further improve their major, or students to experience foreign teaching methods in different majors like me, even those who do not have any art foundation but just want to experience it .

I've had a great experience from London College of Fashion. I graduated from Textil and Design in Sweden 2016. After my experiences in sewing, I wanted to learn more in depth about the business in the fashion industry and that's why i selected this program. It has given me so much tools and knowledge that I couldn't even imagen that I would learn. I can really recommend this program to a person who wants to see the reality of the fashion industry and get a greater knowledge and inspiration to which part one will find themselves in the industry.

This program was so much fun. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the different projects we worked on in class, as well as the remarkable tour and show experiences we got to participate in. I really felt like I got to see things the average theatre-goer wouldn't experience. The instructor was incredibly helpful and friendly, too, and was wonderfully involved. Living in London itself, and traveling to Wimbledon for class, was also a really unique and engaging experience. It truly felt like I was living there - not just a tourist. All in all, a fantastic way to experience a new city and country, with structure and academic/practical challenge, but also with time to see the things I wanted to see on my own. If I could, I'd do it again in a heartbeat!
