As a creative and someone wanting to study film, it's fairly exhausting having to learn about topics which have no connection to film. There's barely any creative aspects and it's mainly history.

There is a whole module called DSAS which Helps students to find placements as well as find critical skills needed for after graduation

At the start teaching wasn’t great, all of the assignments were all over the place and some of the lecturers didn’t turn up (although I believe that they had a good reason behind it). I know that everyone has acclimated to online learning things are much smoother and everything is where it is supposed to be. The lectures did a good job trying to manage everything including their mental health and that of the students

Multiple opportunities per semester to talk to guest speakers and apply for internships, often integrated within the uni degree so everyone has the opportunity.

Really good quality of teaching before Covid. With online teaching they’ve given us as much support as possible but it isn’t quite as good, but still worth studying.

Very clean and easy to access services

Appears to be lots of options for help and support when needed

There are weekly events being held online to inform students about their career prospects and the university website has a lot of information on this as well. These events often include guest speakers from all types of industries.

All modules are taught online, lecture materials are provided online and used to prepare for workshops and weekly seminars. Lecturers are extremely responsive. The atmosphere of the lectures is calm professional and very accommodating. Each module seminar is at least one hour per week conducted by a lecturer online. The tutors are professional and very responsive. The only criticism is that students are not given enough time with their tutors during lectures, so some improvement can be made in terms of scheduling.

The university offers extremely high-quality modern facilities. The buildings are well presented with plenty of natural light. The X block in particular is quite stunning, it features a great open space with a well-staffed and managed cafe. it is littered with great study spaces and even has moot courtrooms and Harvard style lecture halls. The lecture rooms are designed to encourage collaboration and engagement. Other buildings such as the newly built engineering faculty are also very well designed. Most buildings have or are close to some sort of cafe or store where you can grab a snack or some coffee or enjoy a chat between lectures. All buildings are well labelled and easily accessible, there are ramps for those that are wheelchair-bound as well as automatic doors. The facilities are very clean and well maintained. The shared spaces are very well looked after and kept in good order. The school has plenty of parking and bike sheds and storage and even has bikes you can borrow. The trash is collected regularly and very rarely piles up.

The staff at the university are very caring and patient. The university has scheduled wellbeing checks and will often call and email to check on your wellbeing. You can make appointments or check into the health centre on campus if you have an emergency. You can also set up appointments to speak to an onsight councillor. The health centre has however been inactive at times perhaps due to the pandemic, this has been a great concern for most students who require medical assistance especially for international students.
