Queen Mary University of London - QMUL Speciality : Art & Design
programme: Film

As a student, I felt largely neglected by the university while studying Film and TV at Queen Mary. Support and communication were limited, and concerns often felt ignored or slow to be addressed. The course was very theory-heavy, with little practical guidance or industry preparation. Overall, the lack of support made the experience disappointing and isolating rather than creatively rewarding.

I am a first-year PhD student in the field of Film Studies. Up until now, I have learnt a lot and had a great experience. The university has been supportive, especially in my case, and helped me cover many problems. Moreover, lecturers and supervisors are well-educated and professional in their field, and there is a lot that I can learn from them.

I liked Queen Mary for its diversity and the fact that it was within Central London. I liked that it had a lot of societies to join, which allowed me to meet new people and the lecturers there are really friendly and super helpful. QMUL is a Russell Group university which means more opportunities and people on campus are very friendly and welcoming. I think it’s a lovely place to go uni there and highly recommend it!

I enjoy my university due to the collaboration between the students and lecturers. They listen and provide detailed learning and extra resources so you’re not only scraping the surface but rather the entire spectrum of an argument.
The challenge of stating an argument and providing a clear narrative to the set coursework was challenging due to the high standard nature of the work required.
The accessibility of resources and development of ideas of not only my course of film but instead the politics and information supplied alongside the details of a film. I was not only given one view to understand but many and not only from a film perspective but from diverse areas of study.
