What students say about film-studies

The best aspects of my university experience have been the sense of community and the opportunities for personal and academic growth. My course is taught by passionate lecturers who make the subject feel relevant and engaging, and I’ve appreciated how approachable most staff are when I need help. There are also plenty of extracurricular activities and societies, which made it easy to meet people with similar interests. The campus facilities—like the library, study spaces, and wellbeing services—have also been a big part of what makes it a great place to study. In terms of what could be improved, there are a few key areas. Communication between departments could sometimes be clearer, especially around deadlines and timetable changes. At busy times of the year, access to study spaces can become limited, and more quiet areas or longer opening hours would make a difference. It would also help if there were more practical, hands-on learning opportunities such as placements, workshops, or industry links, as these really enhance understanding and employability. Overall, the university offers a supportive and stimulating environment, but with better organisation and more resources during peak periods, the student experience could be even stronger.

What students say about film-studies

I am a remote learning student. I think there isn't as many interactive online sessions as I would have expected and the sessions there isn't a lot of class collaboration between students. However, support at university has been second to none, whenever I have got in touch with a department I have received a response within a working day.

What students say about film-studies

WIFI is absolutely awful and there are many dead zones around campus. How can a top-level engineering university provide such poor internet connection, especially when all of our assignments are internet based and due online? I am constantly searching for places around campus with any useable connection and the VPN speeds when you're off campus are just unusable. It's the year 2024. How have we not figured this out yet? It's absolutely unaccusable. You have the money to build an entire new campus, but can't fix the internet at your main campus? Awful.

The faculties in my course are amazing, all the teachers support in the tv studio and outside of class hours is amazing the teachers go above and beyond to help student. Being able to come and use the facilities when ever is really amazing, having 24/7 to classrooms with macs is really nice.

The best part if studying at University of Huddersfield is the teacher support for older students like myself. I love the preparation class for styles, referencing and academic reading it’s a great starter for students of all background.

What students say about film-studies

UCLan is a great place to study because of its friendly staff, diverse student community, and excellent facilities like the library and sports centre. It provides strong academic and personal support. One area for improvement could be creating more study spaces during exam periods and adding more campus events to bring students together.

It has multiple different campus’s at different locations on london, which is great for when you want to study. The facilities are always clean and staff are generally very friendly. Majority of lectures I have had have been very helpful and you can learn a lot from them. There are also so many great opportunities to help your career development which is great. I think the social aspect of the university needs improving, there are many societies but a lot of these don’t host many events.
