Tell us about your overall university experience so far.
I really enjoyed my experience at Met, I learned so much about screenwriting and there were so many opportunities available. I think it's a place where, if you use the initiative and make the most of the opportunities, you learn a lot, but you do have to be proactive. For me, being at Met fueled my passion to become a writer and confirmed that it's something I can definitely do if I work hard enough, and therefore the experience was pretty great.
Facilities
How good are your university's facilities?
Lots of equipment to use if we needed. Generally really good.
Student support
How good is the support offered by the uni? Think both academic (tutors/feedback) and personal (counselling, etc).
The support was really good, Sarah has been great in helping me to find opportunities. Generally the tutors were great and gave really helpful notes, although some were more useful than others which is to be expected. I didn't make use of the counselling, but I knew there was some available if I needed it.
Local life
Is your university in a good location in terms of distance to accommodation and local amenities?
London is obviously a great place to be, with lots of opportunities for young filmmakers.
Lecturers and teaching quality
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
Tutors gave helpful notes and we were encouraged to share our ideas. There were lots of useful courses and I genuinely learnt a lot about screenwriting.
There could have been more opportunities to get us working with the other filmmakers, and I felt like screenwriters were overlooked slightly for directors and producers.
How many contact hours per week do you have?
35
Career prospects
How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?
Sarah at Met film futures has been really good at connecting me to useful contacts and helping me to find opportunities. They also regularly send employment information out via email to all met alumni.
