I watched the film 'The NHS Heist's there. The staff were helpful in getting me to the cinema which was well hidden.

Great university, loved my time doing computer science there. Many great lecturers. My favourite being Mark D?inverno. So enthusiastic and smart

great campus and lecturers, but utterly terrible organisation. It takes several weeks for anyone from their Computing hub to respond to queries and I ran into several serious issues which could not be solved in a long time because of that.

The place is very nice but I didn't like the food and the rooms are a bit far away from the university

I had so many amazing tutors, professors, and classes at Goldsmiths that made the experience worth it. There truly is an atmosphere of creativity here. However, Goldsmiths does not seem to care much about helping their students through turmoil, pandemic, and strikes. Goldsmiths to me represents the utmost creativity and offer unique opportunities to learn and that is what drew me to it. Not anymore, Frances Corner and the SMT gutted the place and the subsequent strikes ruined my entire university experience. I taught myself over half of my entire degree and received no substantial refund of tuition for the 3 years of strikes, online learning, and disruption to my learning. No help was ever offered. Not to mention this was during a pandemic while tuition for international student was raised by thousands of pounds for online teaching.

"I studied BA Textiles. Great facilities and the technicians were brilliant. However the course tutors were bullies who seemed to make it up as they went along. Because they were sued by students who failed the course and were not told they were failing the year before they had to take on a big year to compensate for the payout. They then proceded to bully students who they felt they wanted to leave. They had clear favourites who they didn't bother to push to get the best out of. If anyone tried to do anything remotely different they couldnt cope, they hadn't seen it before so they couldn't categories it. Some lecturers told students they didn't have to put textiles in their work, then the external verifiers would say "wheres the textiles". Im glad the course merged with fine art as it was outdated and the course tutors lazy bullies who relied on students being frightened to challenge them.

I think it must be good for artistic things such as Art and Music but fails with something more theoretical like History which is what I studied. Teaching was boring and stale and what's more very biased and politically motivated.

1st year. not actually that bad of a uni.some lecturers don't teach fully, they just tell us to watch the recording so they can chat about what they like. strikes are long, but depending on your course you'll have 1on1 office hours and recorded lectures. there's close transport and food.i think the uni is in debt by 3 million, haven't seen where this shows yet.DONT go to loring hill accomodation, hot water breaks regularly, no heating regularly, even the electricity stopped working for some time. the laundrette had a problem once too. live at home if you can.also this uni is left-leaning, but unless you are interacting w/ politics, you don't see or hear anything much regarding left politics.

All around great, no issues, very accessible campus, friendly people, security team very helpful etcCons: Poor university management of students health and safety, even when the weather is freezing cold as it currently is and during the winter season, the University do not put the heating on anywhere within the campus buildings including the Richard Hoggart Building and within lecture theatres e.g Ian Gulland Lecture Theatre, Professor Stuart Hall building, lecture theatres within Richard Hoggart Building as well as department buildings e.g. Whitehead Building etc. I believe this university management want students to freeze to death during colder weather and do not care about the welfare of students and students do not come to university paying tuition fees every year to feel like they degraded and for their health and safety to be violated and there is several other issues which have also been mismanaged. The water from taps within the multi faith prayer room have no hot water, its freezing cold even during periods of colder weather (currently). Poor ventilation within seminar and tutorial rooms with very unpleasant odours.

I should have posted this review months back ......but.....better late than never. The New Cross campus is accessible by train, overground and bus services. I did an interview with them back in Summer 2022, and it was one of the worst I have ever done - and with many years of experience under my belt!. The 3 panel members appeared to take no interest in me, the approach was very robotic, lacking warmth and I felt the questions were structured in a way to catch me out. Add all this together, I was getting even more nervous in the interview, that I mixed up 'officer' for 'coordinator' which one of the panel members rudely 'corrected' me for it - again no understanding or flexibility. And as I could feel my nerves peaking, feeling judged by the 3 _____ , I mess up on the diversity question' how do you promote diversity?' with a ridiculous answer ???, when I'm of mixed Arab and Northern European heritage, and also a bilingual English Arabic speaker. Thinking about it, what does that question even mean - how can you promote something that naturally already exists - different languages, cultures, nationalities, ethnicities, faiths...the list goes on.In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't the get the job. I am neither on the right or left of the political ( ideological) spectrum so I don't think I would have fit in with the working culture there.I also previously enquired about their teaching courses and:1 - the person who was apparently coordinating the programme did not reply back - not even an automated reply ( they still haven't....)2- when I submitted an enquiry to admission, the response was very nonchalant and generic....leaving me with more question marks flying around my head ????So even on the outside, these experiences have been very off-putting for me. However, I might try one more time to enquire/apply. Let's see.

good student union shop and a cinema but don't expect it to be easy to find submission links for assignments!! made some very cool friends here so far

Just a university that sells itself in exchange of easy money from the rich kids that come to London to ?study?.I have several friends that went and are going to this university and they are all extremely hardworking and responsible and always had good grades.Unfortunately in this university they reward with good grades to the rich students (even though they don?t study, don?t speak english and lot?s of them pay other students to do their own homework).This is a shame and it lowers the prestige of any university accepting this from happening. It?s sad to see smart people that work hard to get good grades getting lower grades than the people that clearly don?t deserve it and obviously paid for it.

I am a design graduate student. Here is the real perfection for me. There are no grades for the first semester so we can be fully creative. And I am thankful that I found a definite direction in my life before the end of the whole course.Regarding the negative reviews of this school, I think it depends on your own arrangement. The school will provide enough help and advice.All in all, the professors are nice, they have different personalities and are full of energy. Regarding being rejected without consolation, I think schools deal with a lot of applications, and I know that at top schools, rejections are always brief, including the London College of Art and the Royal College of Art.The strike did not affect the design profession, the teachers were always there and in charge.Also, the dorm management is safe! It's really great and the admin is nice.

Definitely a great place for the liberal arts - admin is a bit overburdened at the moment though, so things are moving slower than one would like.
