University of Nottingham - UoN Speciality : Performing Arts
programme: Film Studies

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.
