The animation course is pathetic, you mostly need to learn stuff yourself as you won't from the the tutors, pretty much none of whom work in the industry so don't have relevant/up to date knowledge. The degree does have an industry professional but it is only taught 3 nights a week in the evening so you aren't getting much time with them.

You'll be discouraged from working in the industry by some tutors who think making your own things independently is the best, which is the completely wrong opinion as you'll never be able to support yourself that way.

During my time there the person teaching 3D only used 3DS Max and didn't even teach, instead would take a roll call and then leave for 3 hours. The industry standard is Maya, not 3DS Max.

The animation tutor was completely tech illiterate, could barely turn on a computer, so the only "teaching" was pencil on paper but that was relegated to putting on videos. They also taught film studies but every opinion they had was based off of what someone else said, was very rude, wasn't open to the classes opinions, and treated the class like a bunch of school children.

The layout tutor was amazing though.

The college itself is a dump, quite literally, it's always filthy and the cleaners are a joke. I once seen a cleaner mop the floor then use the same mop on the desks with computers.
