What students say about film-special-effects

The lecturers are lovely and the course material is good. I think the study could be somewhat more guided, though that may just be the reality of university. I think neurodiverse students, such as myself, would benefit greatly from more explcit and personal guidance

What students say about film-special-effects

I love the scenery which is just by the River Thames. The accommodation is comfortable and peaceful. Worst experience is that students are made to search Placement opportunities themselves which can be quite exhausting.

What students say about film-special-effects

It’s a great place to study as everything is in one location. There are a lot of useful services and facilities the uni offers. I think that some lecturers may not be the most supportive or helpful at times. And I also think the uni does not advertise all the amazing or useful services or equipment they do provide - I noticed that myself and a few others would find out about useful equipment, services and facilities on our own accord at the end of our last year at uni, which felt a bit of a shame we weren’t told about them sooner.

What students say about film-special-effects

The uni itself is beautiful and right in the city centre, there is lots to do around Nottingham and it is relatively cheap compared to other areas. Lively food scene and nightlife, and there are lots of parks and other activities in or near the city centre. Support from my tutor and course leaders has been perfect, my one complaint would be the lack of support regarding mental health. My tutor and course leaders have been extremely accommodating and attentive to the needs of disabled or mentally ill students, and counselling is available within the student union, however it is limited to 6 sessions and has a very long waitlist, taking (in my experience) 6 months to get an initial assessment. However, I have made so many friends and received support from both them, and the staff on my course. Would absolutely recommend NTU!

What students say about film-special-effects

The best aspects are diversity, understanding and supportive coordinators and staff, embracing environment overall. The cons I would say the facilities we are lacking crucial software licenses that are main part of our work, and some equipment are crucial to running our projects, yet they are outdated and need maintenance. We have an awesome technical team doing their best, but sometimes the facilities might be completely lacking that we have to go do the work elsewhere. We need a lot of intracollaboration withion our own research groups and a lot of workshops. We also need to focus on providing grant and funding writing workshops so we as graduates would be able to secure postdoc at our very own university of westminster.

What students say about film-special-effects

This institution is a great place to study because it offers strong academic support, modern learning facilities, and a diverse, welcoming student community that encourages collaboration and new perspectives. The teaching staff are knowledgeable and approachable, and students benefit from accessible resources that help them develop both theoretical understanding and practical skills. However, there is still room for improvement. Expanding career-focused opportunities—such as workshops, internships, and industry connections—would better prepare students for future employment. Additionally, increasing study spaces, enhancing mental-health support, providing more flexible learning options, and improving communication or feedback processes would further strengthen the overall student experience.

What students say about film-special-effects

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.

What students say about film-special-effects

The best aspects are the student union and the facilities available. I think it could be improved if we had more books generally available at the library without requiring click and collect, since right now the library feels like a study space but not a real library.
