Main details
"The course is a nice hybrid that had elements of both theory and practice. Goldsmiths is always electric, with so many ideas floating around, and it was easy to catch one and pursue it for a while. I enjoyed the lectures, seminars, peer-to-peer interactions and occasional drinks with the tutors. The whole course had a nice balance of old and very new ways of thinking, which is rarer than you’d think. Having a degree orientates your thinking in a certain way and gives you a kind of quiet self-confidence and access to a vast network of people. Being a Goldsmiths graduate undeniably has a certain cultural cachet, but that’s just a cosmetic reason to go to an institution. For me, it was the inner Goldsmiths life that was more important in terms of what I ended up doing."
