The location is very well, the campus is good, but the toilets is not enough, specially, because we have a lot people inside and for some people need to wash feat to pray, the don't have the place. We need more toilets space.

As a commuter I find the Student Union handy but also pretty invasive. I get constant emails. The pop up campaigns outside the union, such as the handshake one they had recently, were very much in everyone’s faces. I understand that their job but it just ruins the calm atmosphere and safe haven feel the union has for me. But if I lived in Sheffield, I bet I would appreciate the hands on nature of the union a lot more.

What students say about drama-studies

What I really like about the Uni is the overall environment, lots of greenery and the general location is a nice spot to walk around and is short distance from shops and diners etc. Its relatively small size feels more personable and everyone is nice overall. Only thing is communication with my course’s lecturers is not always consistent and effective which can be frustrating

What students say about drama-studies

The best aspect of my university experience is the teaching staff and the wider university team. The lecturers are supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping students succeed, and the student-facing staff are consistently kind, friendly, and approachable. There is a strong sense that everyone is willing to help, which makes the university a welcoming and encouraging place to study. An area for improvement would be the reliability of facilities, particularly the internet connection and printers, which have recently not been working consistently. Improving this would make studying on campus more efficient and less stressful.

A friendly atmosphere and a safe space. There are places to study, work and create that are full of students but also quiet spots for independent study. Super encouraging and friendly staff/ teachers, most are also easy to contact on teams outside of uni hours.

What students say about drama-studies

We have incredible facilities and we work on some incredible projects and we get amazing placements in some huge venue's, plus there has been a 100% employment rate in the industry after 6 months. The night life is pretty terrible, it feels like we work all the time and we don't have time to develop our own personalitys and friendships.

What students say about drama-studies

I am in the second year of my Kingston awarded BA fashion design course and i absolutely love it. There are some pros and cons but the pros definitely outweigh the cons for me. The class sizes are very small enabling each student to get as much help as they need. The lecturers are incredibly supportive. The facilities are amazing and there is enough room for every student to have their own space. It is located in a really nice area of Cambridge as well. For fashion it is not the same as if you were in London but the train ride is only 50 minutes. Cambridge nightlife is not amazing but because the city is so small its easy to make friends when you go out. I have grown to really love this place and will definitely miss it when i am finished.

Drama studies degrees

A degree in drama studies can lead to a variety of careers spanning acting, directing, arts administration, education, or even roles in media and communication. Students learn through both practical and theoretical work, fostering creativity, communication techniques, and critical thinking. Often studied topics include theatrical history, playwriting, acting techniques, storytelling, and analysis of literary and dramatic works. More than being on stage, drama studies offers a lens through which to view human experiences, societal dynamics, and bring narratives to life through the power of performance. Postgraduate options can involve specialisation in areas like acting, theatre production, drama therapy, and academia.
