Acting degrees in South East England

Buckinghamshire New University is a great place to study with its supportive lecturers, friendly staff, and inclusive learning environment. The atmosphere on campus encourages both personal and academic growth, and the university truly values student well-being. One area that could be improved is by helping students form cultural communities for example Asian or other international groups and encouraging them to plan events together. This would create a stronger sense of belongingness, help students connect across cultures, and reduce feelings of homesickness among international students.

Obviously studying during the pandemic has been a challenge. The school does have a major issue with organisation and communication. However, I’ve met some great people through this course and had a lot of fun. We got to experience filmmaking modules as well as the acting modules which was a great opportunity.

The sense of community in the building is top notch, the staff are very pleasant and some very sociable. The attractive building and agreeable staff/students make it an extremely enjoyable place to work and hang out. The only negative I can muster up so far, is the fairly random seeming first module, students are doing roles that they don’t understand due to not being taught what they do, and rules for the production seem messy and not completely thought through.

I think that the location and lecturers at BIMM London are amazing, however the campus does not have as much atmosphere as other Universities I have visited. I also do not believe that there is enough spaces for students to spend breaks and study or socialise around the campus apart from the cafe - which is quite small anyway. I think that BIMM London would definitely benefit from having more areas for students to relax and ‘chill’ in between lessons as Fulham Broadway is quite busy and has more commercial areas than places for students to enjoy. Other than that I think that BIMM London is an amazing university and gives students amazing opportunities.
