What students say about acting

This is a very good specialised film school. The teachers are all very kind and friendly and genuinely passionate about that they do. All of the work assigned feels purposeful and is all in preparation for your portfolio when you leave. The work life balance is good and manageable and it’s overall a very enjoyable place to be.

What students say about acting

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.

What students say about acting

I am thoroughly enjoying studying at Portsmouth University, although i have struggled throughout my time here with mental health problems all the staff in every department have been amazing and without their incredible support im not sure i would have reached my third year and be looking at graduating! i cant praise them higher, it is an incredible university that treats every student the same no matter who they are, where they are from or any disabilities they may have.

What students say about acting

The atmosphere is quite nice and the campus is very beautiful. I do think as an international student there aren't many opportunities to integrate properly with home students. At times, there's a sense of othering. Maybe providing a more thorough orientation process with international students to ensure they feel include in the SMU community.

What students say about acting

I’m enjoying very much the whole experience of university. Even though this year has been quite different from what we are used to, the university that I attend has done everything to try to make as normal as possible. I believe this three years are going to be one of the best of my life.

What students say about acting

The best aspect of my university experience was undoubtedly the vibrant and diverse academic community. The opportunity to engage with professors and peers from various backgrounds and perspectives enriched my learning journey immensely. This diversity fostered stimulating discussions, encouraged critical thinking, and broadened my worldview. Furthermore, the university provided ample resources and support services to help students succeed academically, professionally, and personally. From state-of-the-art facilities to career development workshops and counseling services, the university prioritized the holistic well-being and success of its students. On the flip side, the worst aspect of my university experience was the occasional lack of communication and transparency from the administration. There were instances where important information regarding course scheduling, academic policies, or campus events was not effectively communicated to students, leading to confusion and frustration. In terms of improvement, I believe the university could benefit from enhancing its communication channels and transparency. Implementing clear and consistent communication protocols, utilizing digital platforms for disseminating information, and soliciting feedback from students could help bridge the gap and ensure that students are well-informed and engaged members of the university community. Overall, my university experience was incredibly rewarding, primarily due to the vibrant academic community and the support services provided. However, improvements in communication and transparency could further enhance the overall student experience.
