What students say about film-studies

Facilities are brilliant. Students are friendly. Lectures are friendly. However, as someone with struggles in organisation and other areas I find the lack of support really difficult. I feel like im a number in a system not a student as much so I find the course can be more challenging than I can handle even though I have the knowledge of the content

What students say about film-studies

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.

What students say about film-studies

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.

What students say about film-studies

Worst is library computers, they have to include usbc for computer extension. I like the organisation I wish they had more international student support considering we’re paying 3x more for the same thing
