Over the past few months I have been looking at and visiting universities in preparation for applying via UCAS this term.
I have visited the following:
University of Chester
Leeds college of art
Nottingham Trent
Staffordshire university

For each of these I need about 280 UCAS points which is the equivalent of DMM in my level 3 BTEC.
Currently this is my predicted grade based on the projects I have done over my first year. I would be happy to get these, however i would like to try and get a higher grade.

My favourite university so far is Chester, this is because of many reasons; I love the area, Chester is a small city full of character and individual businesses, they are also one of the safest cities in England. The Art and Design area in the university is on its own separate campus- The Kingsway Building.
The advantages of this is that it is very focused upon art and design and the facilities can be shared by various different courses. The facilities were great, they appeared to have plenty of equipment and resources and students seem to have utilised these facilities as you can see from the quality of work.
The building is only a short walk away from the main campus and the city centre which is ideal.

Leeds college of art also has its advantages with it specialising in art related subjects and great facilities throughout. It felt inspiring and quite small which is good because I think a large campus can be quite daunting.
Nottingham Trent was a another university I was looking forward to visit and when I arrived I found the open day incredibly organised including bags with student recipes, accommodation information and various other things about the university. I then went to a talk about their graphic design course where I was given a really helpful sheet that gave me information on what I need to put in my portfolio and the interview process. I think this will be helpful for any university that I apply to. When we went on a tour of the facilities they didn't appear to be quite so good as those I had seen at other universities and the large class sizes I found off putting.
When I went to Staffordshire university, again I found the facilities and resources were good and the staff seemed very passionate about their jobs. The studio was set out nicely and we were able to see some work from students.

I will certainly apply to all of these universities because I think they all bear good prospects for the future.
