We are divided in groups of 14 and that feels like everyone's voice can be heard. People from around the world come to the university that is providing the chance of you meeting people from everywhere. The tutors are professionals and work in industry. This creates more of an industrial environmental and academic which gives you good practice.

Met film school provides outstanding facilities. They have state-of-the-art computers, editing rooms, disabled access, nice and clean toilets and a cafeteria. The classrooms are spacious and adapted to student work. They provide decent enough cameras for the students to work with, alongside with sound equipment and lights. They constantly update and renovates facilities to make sure they're at their best at all times.

Met film school offers goods supplied both academic and personal. They have posters around the school notifying people that are always there for you if you need to speak to someone. They have posters advertising groups about well-being. Tutors give really in depth and personal feedback and it feels like they care about the work that you do. Met film school have a promise where they will always support a student even after they graduate. So far I have been very satisfied by the support I've been given.

London is a big city compared to the town I come from and it could be disorientating for someone isn't used to living in such a big city. I personally live close to the university so I don't spend time and money on travelling. I only go into London when I need to do something like watch a film or buy some clothes. The place I live in Ealing is a far away from central London so I wouldn't know what the city life is like.

What I like most about my course is that there is enough time between the school years where we get to do our own thing. They teach us different types of media, content creation and genres of film. We go from short films, to documentaries, episodic content to feature films. The teachers are really helpful and I felt like I could rely on them. Met Film School provides independency but sometimes I feel it's a bit too much. My least favourite thing about it is the amount of money I need to spend outside of the yearly fees. It feels like they don't cover any of the practical work and I have to pay for projects I get marked on.

Met Film School provides a platform for students to be employed easier by sending out emails daily for job opportunities in the industry. They don't offer placements but they provide opportunities for the students to work within the school. They have an outreach program which is designed for alumni to talk about their experience attend events and earn money. They work closely with University of West London which have 95% of employment rate a year after graduation. They offer internships at the school and give everyone an equal opportunity.

The good thing about the met is that they give you the tools you need to be able to work independently; and like in the industry- your progression and learning experience will depend on you, your motivation and passion. In each course there is a significant number of international students which I thought was great socially and professionally because I got to learn from my friends about how films are being made around the world. I took the cinematography route where I feel like I gained not only technical skills, but also developed creative thinking is different roles in the camera department. The tutors are industry professionals which -because of the school's resources - will teach you how to use industry standard equipment. A nice extra was we learned how to work on 16/35mm film cameras which I personally really enjoyed! Since we were 15 people in our group, the tutors were able to personally respond to each student's needs according to his level of progress. Although I was in the cinematography class, I took other courses during the BA that I was interested in like TV production, documentary filmmaking, short film production... The school has a family feel to it and I felt tutors and staff are very approachable, and since the school is quite new, they care about your feedback and will give space for new initiatives. I recently finished my course and I'm still in touch with the Met through Met-Go which links graduates to work opportunities and offers interesting paid projects.
