  • Overall the university has been great. There have been a few blips along the way but my faculty has always helped me out. Lecturers are incredibly knowledgeable about the industry and are very helpful. They course is laid out in a great way and all builds into a final project. Finally the university also set up volunteer schemes where I was able to go out of town for free and help out in an elderly home. This worked well as research for my dissertation and gave my CV a bit more edge. The students union was excellent. A great place to go to study and meet friends plus a great selection of films shown there and food to buy.
