  The upside
  
  Facilities within arts block are to a very high standard. Could not have asked for a better working environment within the photography section. Tutors and technicians are also very helpful and are always ready to answer questions and help when needed.

League table rankings

Here's where this university ranks in the three main league tables (where available), which are calculated using a combination of stats that they each weight in different ways. They’re a handy guide but don’t offer the full picture – just because a university is top (or bottom) of the league tables doesn’t mean it is (or isn’t) the right choice for you.
