909 University of Salford reviews

Should NOT be advertised as 'Animation' course in general, little to no support for 3D animation which was promised. Experienced a lack of knowledge of current industry by most tutors, not all. Skill level felt more like a foundation preparing for a degree as it was so broad, often had to compromise and film, record audio on set, learn how to use filming equipment etc, all areas I didn't want to take part in.

- Being taught in a class with 70+ other students all from different areas of filming (wildlife, documentary, drama etc.) is not acceptable for a Masters Animation course. Animation is far too specialised and the majority of my lectures that were mandatory, I didn't find relevant to me in the slightest. - Was told I'd have specialist 3D support but didn't, had a crash course in Maya for the rest of the class to try it out but this was more foundation level. When trying to receive more advanced support, I was just told I probably knew as much as they did. + Audio recording lessons that were specifically for animation were really helpful and relevant. + Only 3 days a week, can support a job.

Students on my course had so many complaints about the course and lack of support around strikes. Meetings were apparently frustrating and nothing was changed.

No support for 3D which was promised. Feedback was very varied and sparse. Some tutors I felt didn't have a good enough understanding of 3D animation or how it was produced to be marking it.

I'm aware I can find a job

I like the balance.
