One of the main reasons I wanted to study Fine Art was to learn skills in scroll disciplines like new media, painting, photography, printmaking and sculpture and this degree more than delivered on that for me. With the facilities available and the skilled technicians that are always ready and willing to help and teach my goal was more than fulfilled. While I found my tutors supportive and good at giving constructive criticism, my only downside is the fact that that wasn’t the same experience for some of my coursemates, whose interests more in painting as the focus of the course seemed to want to pish everyone to a contemporary approach and thus in some cases felt like it was neglecting painting as a discipline.

Overall our course was very good, the only downside was that the course content was too random and there were too many assignments, resulting in us not being able to complete them on time. The direct link between the course and the lesson was somewhat tight, which did not give us enough break to prepare for the next project. But the course has been very helpful in our careers

The first thing I like is the leader in our programme, as our leader is not only the teacher but also very experienced in the curation area, from the master’s study, I’m really gain many knowledge and experience about curation. Another thing that I really like is about the programme set in this major, cause what it provides is not only the theory but more opportunities to do curation and exhibition view travel, this can help me to know the exhibition in each part of the country. The facility for our major makes me have a chance to communicate with other artists especially set our major and Fine Art students on the same campus. The student life in university is really various mainly because of the jubilee sports hall, library and susu. I enjoyed spending after studying time in these three places to do sports and social.

Excellent student organisations (SUSU) provide students with a variety of extracurricular activities, to achieve real Study & Life balance.
Complete facilities include an all-day open library, a technical sports centre with a student discount, and study areas in every building as well.
Our university pays attention to students’ mental health, and regularly send the appointment link for free psychological consultation to students’ email account.
Provide career guidance to every student. Able to book CV courses, mock interview courses etc. through the university website.
I hope the setting of major courses can be improved. As a student of Fashion Marketing and Branding, I think the courses are a bit hasty, due to some professional knowledge can not actually good to use, increase practice chances will be better for course study. however, the academic materials are high quality and there is a lot of professional information can be gained.

Throughout my Film Studies course with UoS, I was impressed by the standard of teaching that was consistently maintained by lecturers – particularly in the Film department. Lectures were engaging, thoughtfully planned out and delivered, and I always left feeling more informed and excited that my studies were developing. In seminars, discussions were typically informal enough to elicit lively conversations and debates, but structured enough to consider how these debates could further our work and learning.

Consistent requests for student feedback and close engagement between lecturers and their classes enforced a sense that our thoughts and feelings genuinely mattered and informed the teaching experience. Lecturers were almost always very reflective and receptive to feedback.

The only issues that arose from the course are ones either caused or exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Teaching was put at a standstill for a short time whilst it was decided how it would continue during a national lockdown. Whilst it took a while to adjust to “the new normal”, I was impressed with the efforts most of my lecturers went to maintain their high standard of teaching and accommodate students struggling to adapt. Since graduating, however, I have felt that more could have been done to prepare us for finding work or further study beyond university. Whilst I understand that the faculty was coping with a series of new pressures, I am not alone in feeling that I left Southampton underprepared and overwhelmed by the prospect of finding work. Pastoral support was not as readily available as it would have otherwise been, for reasons beyond faculty control. I feel that more video-call meetings or a support group would have been hugely beneficial.

Regardless, the course itself was varied and exciting, incorporating a huge variety of fields and topics. I remain hugely impressed by the standard of teaching and overall uni experience.

As an international student, I think UOS very cares about every student’s mental health. The teachers here try their best to help me to adapt to the new environment. They will give me some advice not only in the academic areas but also in daily life if I show my requirements.
