What students say about film-special-effects

Mmu has strong academic reputation, excellent industry links like Siemens and employability . They have cutting edge facilities: state of the art labs are amazing! I love their commitment to sustainability; they are ranked as one of the best. The university could be improved : They need to improve in library services They need to have more rooms for studying They definitely would need more pc rooms! As they are always occupied when I need one, especially during exam times The library needs to get the books back in ; the books gave the library character and a reason for student to come to the library Other than this, Mmu is amazing!

What students say about film-special-effects

Facilities (5) - I truly believe that my degree is perfectly accommodated for just by looking at the facilities on offer. Not only that, but the actual hive bar is brilliant and there is lots of space for everyone. Location (3) - Although the building itself looks fabulous where it is, to get there you have to cross a very busy main road that sometimes can be dangerous and with it being outside of the AO arena, it makes it hard being there when a concert or show is on. With that being said however, the fact it is barely a 10 minute walk from Victoria station makes it very easy for me as a commuter. Student Support (4) - I believe that UCEN goes above and beyond when trying to support students, particularly with their schemes on offer to help those less financially stable. The only thing I’d say is maybe make it a bit more obvious where to access these support by putting posters up around the campus. Campus Look and Feel (5) - It is clear that there has been a lot of work gone into the campus itself which makes it a really beautiful and welcoming place to be. The campus actually featured on the latest season of Waterloo Road so I am pretty sure that this only goes to show how incredible it is. Student Life (4) - As far as I am aware, as a commuter student, the campus is brilliant for somebody like me as I can easily get there everyday providing the trains are running, but I do feel that with the location of the campus, students find it relatively difficult to find accommodation on offer around it, and therefore, this can make it difficult for students to really get to grips with student life when not being close to the campus or city centre. Students Union (5) - The students union is always thriving, there is always something going on that they have put together in the hive, and it is really a pleasure to get involved in these things and take a break from the degree for a moment. Whether that be painting or putting on a movie night, they really do go above and beyond. They also promote our concerts and events which is lovely to see.

What students say about film-special-effects

It's a good place for study, but it doesn't have the "uni life" aspects of it so don't expect that. It has good support for student and free counselling. You'll get a more hands on tutoring in smaller classes and it can be really fun. Some of the newer tutors right now are bringing the experience for me down a bit but hopefully that will be improved.
