UCEN Manchester
speciality: Performing Arts

This university had a fantastic course, Acting for Live and Recorded Media. It helped you work with camera, theatre AND radio, even helping you develop a showreel and audioreel for when you leave. Unfortunately, they did not have systems in place to help non-binary students within their course. Students were marketed as men or women, no option for non-binary actors. Inappropriate comments by students and staff were raised with no repercussions. I felt I did not belong and was harassed, which deeply affected my mental health. When COVID hit they provided no support for any of the final year students, and when offers were suggested they never came to fruition.
