What students say about media-studies

The lecturers are really approachable and want you to succeed. It feels really inclusive and diversity is appreciated. Being so close to Manchester there's lots going on and good transport links. The only real criticism I have is the use of online lectures, how ever much they try, they aren't as condusive to learning as in person lectures are especially if you have difficulties with concentration. I understand that universities are trying to find ways to cut costs but I feel that this detracts from the whole student experience both academically and socially.

What students say about media-studies

The university needs to improve on student housing and accommodation as this part leaves international students in distress and affects their settling in. Greater emphasis in planning ahead and dissemination of information via student email and moodle on time so students can be informed on time of events, lectures or certain expectations they need to meet. I also suggest they create a platform or initiate a forum where students like student nurses actively participate and engage in RCN and professional programmes for developmental and career growth. Create more flexible and part time job opportunities for students as this reduces financial stress and fosters relationships between students and university staff

BIMM University

What students say about media-studies

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.

What students say about media-studies

The university takes a long time to respond to claims. Also feedback is given back sparsely and it takes a long time to get back which makes it difficult to improve for future assignments. The labs are very nice and it is good that we are learning multiple different techniques. The student life and feel is also very nice. And even though there is limited study space on campus especially during exam time, if you get to the library early enough you will find a seat somewhere.

What students say about media-studies

Wembley is an amazing place to study. It is the most iconic stadium in the country, where all finals take place, so to be studying there it feels absolutely amazing. You get to meet loads of different professionals in sport and get so many chances to experience lots of different things. We get given so much support from lecturers and the services involved with the uni. The lessons are really engaging and are so interesting and unique. It may be different to the typical uni experience. But I don’t think any university has so much to offer with experiences and job opportunities and chances to build up your CV
