Lofti has A-Levels in Art (B), RS (C) and English language (D)

The essence of the course was one of the main reasons for me to make Coventry University my first choice. Its first major advantage was how broad and open-minded the course is. Although the title is Graphic Design, the course does not end there. It allows students to give a chance to a whole range of other Industrial Design subjects such as Product Design, Illustration and even Architecture. The tutors are open to realizing common projects between the disciplines and will give you amazing help from their experience in the fields.

Its second major advantage is the chance of choosing to get in rolled on a four year Master’s degree, instead of a three year Bachelor’s degree. This allows students with financial difficulties to graduate with a Master’s degree in the selected field, since they get a student loan for all their years, and also gives one year of work experience. In this day and age, when almost everyone graduates with a diploma, one of the most required aspects in the battle to find a job is relevant experience, which made this program a perfect choice for me. Another benefit for choosing this course is that the students are obliged to take an ''Add + Vantage Class'', which can be something related to the subject you are studying or it can be something you've always wanted to try. My choice for this year was studying a foreign language.

I am extremely happy with the support the tutors and lectures have provided me during the whole year. The teaching methods allow a lot of freedom, which I believe is really important when it comes to subjects of a creative nature. Also the environment turned out to be quite competitive, which motivated and gave me an additional stimulus.

The application for University is simple, simply requiring a form on the website and an English test. After they have checked the information provided, I had to go for an interview. I also submitted a portfolio including some areas from Graphic Design and Illustration and I had to write an essay about it.
