It has good facilities, especially equipment for filmmaking. Tutors are easy to contact and helpful with feedback. To improve, maybe more specific access to equipment, for example prioritizing final year projects.

Equipment is sometimes hard to get/ clash with other modules because of amount of students needing it.

Good access to washing machines and other facilities and security always there to feel safe. Maintenance can be quick but sometimes takes a while to get big issues fixed.

The staff are all so helpful and supportive, which made the start of uni feel a lot easier and less stressful. Unfortunately sometimes the course itself sometimes felt a little boring and not the massive jump up from lower education that I was expecting.

The hands on/ practical side of the Filmmaking course is brilliant as we get to work in groups to make tons of short films weekly, which is great experience and just fun. However, the film studies side of the course is a lot less engaging and has only just started to get more interesting as we recently changed to our second unit with a new lecturer. I think it’s very strange to have the very first unit in our more theoretical lectures be so uninteresting as it really didn’t start us off in the best place.

The location is not even a 5 minute walk from campus which is a dream for ‘commuting’ to lectures. The staff are usually quite helpful except my flat has made a number of noise complaints about a noisy flat upstairs and the security guards have largely just brushed us off and been quite patronising. Also there was an issue with the water supplies about a month in, however it was sorted out super quickly which was very impressive.
