Media studies, Sheffield Hallam University

Like I said for the university slide; DO NOT COME HERE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO! If you want to be a character artist, please go to a different university that has more up-to-date facilities! Feel like I've just wasted 3 years doing something I didn't want to do after realising the hellscape of this industry!

You could do better with a apprenticship or internship. Creative industries are more about experience

Very nice course. Exactly what i wanted to do. The opportunities after finishing the course are unlimited in my opinion as we are taught a variety of things.

The people are sick , equipment is s***.

The course is run like a GCSE taster class if you want a career within the film industry take media instead.

Great staff on the course

So far I'm really enjoying the course. The lecturers explain everything thoroughly which results in easy understanding. A special shout out to Joel who makes lectures fun and interesting

Amazing course! Some modules are s*** and unnecessary.

Loads of variation and experienced tutors

I'm only in first year, so it's hard to judge, but so far we're being taught an adequate amount, the tutors are friendly and easy to reach if we have any concerns.

the first term was brilliant, but the second was ridiculous! I wasn't happy witht he second half of the first year. next year will be brilliant though!!

All in all I have had a great experience on my course. I have enjoyed almost all of the material we have studied and I like that we are able to pick elective modules to cater to our interests. There have been one or two not so good modules but this was down to the quality of teaching from associate lecturers and following module feedback improvements were made. The course leader Chris Hogg is really brilliant and will go out of his way to help you and offer advice and really listens to your feedback about the course.

Excellent cokfse. Both practical and theoretical learning could be applied to real life and work settings. Lots of transferable skills

Its okay i wish there was more pratiacal

So much fun and great lecturers

Very enjoyable course, you learn a lot over the years you're here.

(couldn't find Games Art, so I've chosen Games Design). Generally been disappointed with this course - It's called Game Art but we rarely created art, it has been mostly 3D modelling and such - there have been about 3 modules that actually require drawing (2 yrs in). In my opinion, I think game art should be split between 3D and 2D, as there were many people who thought we'd be doing more 2D stuff. I also think the modules were oftentimes more complicated than they should be due to tutors not teaching properly or being lazy and us needing to rely on youtube videos and friends for help - this is why the value for money isn't there. It feels like we're paying to be given work, rather than being taught. On the positive side, there are no essays and it's all coursework which I enjoy. There is great potential for this course to be great, but I feel like some things need changing. I dont regret coming on this course, I've met some great people - but i can' help but wish for more to be honest

It's an interesting course, there could be more games design but the fundamentals of code have to be understood before significant games progress is made.

I would like to be given more opportunities of how to get into the industry but apart from that I love my course

I thoroughly enjoyed my course. I made friends while gaining insight and knowledge into an industry I otherwise wouldn't have. If you're interested in communications or anything related to it, I strongly recommend studying Public Relations at Hallam.

The course is something I have always been interested in. However covid has made it hard to focus on studies I am still enjoying it

Most of it is being told to teach ourselves and watch YouTube tutorials. Tutors take weeks to answer emails. Teaching quality is not the best but not the worst.

Good course obviously with covid access to equipment is difficult however they make the best effort and the tutors are excellent!

The courses are all online therfore they are not very emersive and social

I have thoroughly enjoyed my course throughout my first year, it has lived up to be everything is was sold to be when applying last year. I absolutely love the course modules and the lecturers that teach them!

The course itself is good and also tutors, they’ve tried to deliver everything as much as they can. They’re always there for you when you meed their help.

A good course which covers a wide range of modules. You can use a lot of new great technology as well.

I love my course, the tutors make it very interesting and enjoyable!

It's a really interesting course and has given me a lot of in sight

My course is actually MA in public relations but I can't find the option. The teaching quality are good, all of my tutor are nice and helpful. The learning process is more practical.

My course was actually Digital Media Management but there’s no option for it

Due to corona virus its been very hard to learn. VR course without VR equiptment and programs we cant access from home

This is a very fun course with lots to do and job prospects but could do with a little bit more structure.
