The access to film equipment and industry professionals is great and they are always taking on feedback and improving the uni and the course.

It is a great course for understanding acting technique as well as trying out screen acting specific things like motion capture. As it is the first time they have done this course they have been working out the term and exams so hopefully will improve from our feedback. I would like there to be slightly more contact hours as acting is quite a practical course however I understand that the spare hours of the week are meant to ne used for personal projects which is good too.

I like the modern room that is given to you but I would like to have more storage space. I really love that the kitchen gets cleaned each week and that we have our own fridges in our room. I wish it was a bit closer to our uni as we have to pay for travel everyday but understand that it's harder in London. Also I really like the common room downstairs but wish there was some kind of communal space to sit on each floor to eat with friends.

The intimate, smaller groups definitely allow you to get a better view and understanding of the subject matter and the industry professionals that get bought in to help are brilliant. The course is also good but what I would say to anyone looking at the acting course is that, while the course itself is brilliant and you will absolutely take a lot of important lessons away from it, don’t expect a whole lot more offered outside of that, specifically to the acting side. All of the other events, talks and masterclasses whilst I have been here have been, whilst intriguing, educational, engaging and useful to expand your knowledge of a film set and more of the production side of things, entirely aimed at the filmmaking students. It also can feel at times that filmmakers and screenwriters get more priority in a lot of ways like locations on campus for assessments and equipment availability. That said, the course alone, the teaching style with the professionals bought in make it absolutely worth your consideration.

It gives you a lot of insight and a lot to add to your repertoire as an actor that your average drama course couldn’t. The focus on practical skills in assessments is also a huge bonus. How certain modules are graded has raised everyone’s eyebrows at times, including our brilliant lecturer.

It’s warm in winter and has everything you’d need across the year.
