The career advisors were always sending out opportunities available and offering meetings to discuss career paths.

We have 12 hours of lectures/seminars a week. Since the pandemic it has been online which was tricky at first but the lectures got their head around it quickly and was very supportive. Whenever we needed advice or help from our tutor they were always quick to respond and arrange an 1-1 zoom chat.

Throughout the pandemic it was more tricky to assess Services. Although, the library remained open and was clean and spaced out which made me feel safe when studying in the library.

No

I did a mentoring program that helped a bit with career prospects but, with a course like mine and wanting to be an author, there’s not really much that can be done to help me

My course is so good! Obviously being a creative course, we don’t have too many teaching hours because so much is our own work! But the tutors are amazing and most of them are published writers themselves!

The cafes and library are clean and nice to be in

I have never really used student support but we need more councillors! There are hundreds of students and not enough councillors to go around

No

For each module, there is a 1 hour lecture and 2 hour seminar each week. Sometimes the seminars aren’t 100% relevant/useful but sometimes they are

I have never really used it

No

Online classes weren’t very good and tutors took ages to reply to emails

10

Always clean, laptops to borrow, books etc

Any issues I have were dealt with

No

Have had the most amazing tutors over the last 3 years. Giving us tremendous amounts of support when needed.

Yes

We are very much left to our own devices when graduating however they provide us with the opportunity to be seen by industry professionals.

The teaching in person is amazing and so focused on each individual student however online was really demotivating with us doing a performance based degree.

Great uses of space however it would be great to have dance flooring on all dance rooms.

With select teachers it’s great via support however I do feel that it lacks education upon diversity and discrimination and how to tackle these issues.

No

It hasn’t.

The course is so unbelievably poorly run, lessons and deadlines change on a daily basis, sessions are cancelled out of the blue, new deadlines appear from no where, there are sections where no work is set then loads of work is set, it’s such an unbelievably poorly run course. Morale of the story is, if you’ve got an undergraduate degree and want to know more about actually making films, don’t do this waste of money, find a few YouTube videos

The facilities are class nothing wrong at all with the equipment you use as it’s very industry standard.

Support? What support? It feels like we’ve just been left to rot, no support whatsoever.

No

I found my own employment, they sent around some stuff but I didn’t see loads

40/60 split of good and bad teaching, some tutors obviously really care and it reflects in the teaching both before and after covid. Some tutors, not so much, I have been denied support on more than one occasion, I emptied my pockets onto the desk once so I was comfortable and got told to leave the room as I had tobacco, during a bereavement i got told it was my fault i had not engaged with a piece of work despite attempts. It was these tutors that usually didn’t have the best teaching and value for modules

Really good- always had access to equipment or library when needed

support have been great, always listened and helped

No

In the real world my university rise the students for that moment.

My course it is a mix I have online classes and also presencial classes, during the week.

I think my university have a good space, the only think for me it is my access to the only classes because my laptop it is hold so I have not a good quality for do the classes.

They do a great job supporting their students.

Yes

The employability department were great with helping produce CV’s / cover letters and helped with structuring and how to come across professional. This was great when trying to find placement

Good quality teaching and the staff generally are quick to respond with help if asked

Library is brilliant, even in Covid and the booking system works well, the online availability for literature is great but they are slow to process if you’d like physical books and it’s kept very clean

Constant emails and updates surrounding mental health, finance support etc from the uni. I used the employability services and they were great and really friendly

Yes
