Students’ Feedback As closure of the last technical workshop of the term, I wanted to have the feedback and perspective from students regarding the technical sessions. I repeated the activities that we did in the first workshop[1] to get some feedback.

A frequent factor that I have faced since I started teaching at UAL is language barriers with international students. Language barriers affect every stage of a student’s learning journey, from understanding lectures to completing assignments to participating in class discussions and social interactions (Olagunju et al., 2024). This consideration is very relevant, as in the Graduate […]
Graduate Diploma in Graphic Design students I was unsure about how to measure the impact of the Technical sessions on the students. A good start will be to measure the students’ feelings about their Graphic Design technical skills in the first session of the course.

BLog post 3: Race When I joined UAL as a student, I wasn’t expecting diversity. In my mind, I was going to go and study in a British university that was going to be mainly formed by a white British community, and I was fine with that reality. At the end of the day, you […]

Its aim is to create a shared, practice-led learning environment where students can explore the power of storytelling as an emotional, ethical, […]
Inclusion in educational settings is not merely about representation; it also requires patience, nuance, and a willingness to engage with differences. As institutions evolve and become increasingly diverse, particularly in countries with high levels of migration, it is essential to reflect on what inclusion looks like in practice. Moreover, it is important for me to […]
