Angel - a Fashion Marketing student who applied through Clearing at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½app UniversityI applied to another university, then my friend recommended ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½app, because she went to the Open Day. She said, “trust me Angel, you're going to love this uni.” So, I did some research – I knew I wanted a university that was diverse and I could channel my mind creatively - and then I applied to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½app through Clearing, I did it all online. It was very quick process.
I think it took the span of one week for me to apply. I've been accepted and I was filling out forms and I was ready to go. In the span of a week. When I first started university, my teachers were very supportive. They helped me create a timed schedule so I could follow along the process very easily. They were also very considerate when I needed more help, because the process is much more different compared to college. Everyone was very understanding and nurturing.
Angel's top tips:
- Take time to compose yourself, take a breath. You are making a big decision, and think what is important to you. I wanted a course that would give me opportunities to explore and try new things, like going to events and awards, and I found that here
- Make sure they have the support that you will need. I wanted the tutors to be patient with me, and that is exactly what I got
- Speak to other friends and students who are studying at the university, it is so important to hear from them on what it is like to be a student at the uni
- Make a decision that is right for you, not what is right for your friends or family!
