University of Nottingham - UoN
speciality: Performing Arts

I like the university, it’s nice – just a shame I picked a course that they’re trying to get rid of. The lecturers are really passionate and care about their students and the content is great.

The uni itself is also really nice, good night life and loads of options for societies.

Coming to the University of Nottingham to study Film has honestly been such a great decision for me. I’m now in my second year, and I feel like I’ve really started to find my rhythm – both with my course and life outside of it.
The Film Studies modules are interesting and varied, and I’ve really enjoyed the mix of theory and practical work. There’s been space to explore the kinds of films and topics I actually care about, and the lecturers are supportive. It’s challenged me to think differently about cinema and storytelling, and I’ve grown a lot because of it.
Outside of lectures, joining the Climbing Society has been one of the best parts of uni so far. It’s such a good way to meet people and stay active, especially with all the time spent sitting in front of screens. Everyone’s been super welcoming, whether your brand new to climbing or more experienced. The socials and trips are also great fun – something I’d recommend getting involved in.
Overall, I feel like UoN strikes a really good balance between academic life and everything else. There’s always something happening, and I’ve had chances to get involved in some creative projects and volunteering too, which has made things feel even more rewarding.
Still got another year to go, but I’m genuinely excited for what’s next. So far, it’s been an experience I’ll never forget.

I love this uni! Birmingham was my first choice but I didn’t get in, so I came here as my second choice. But I am so happy it turned out this way!! My absolute favourite thing is how this uni feels like my home. The stunning campus plays a huge part, and the fact that the city has everything a city should have but without feeling overwhelming. Overall, amazing experience living and studying here!
