Bournemouth university is a great place to study. Many buildings perfect for study and revision. The professors are understanding and can be extremely helpful with any issues you may face on their modules.

Trouble is reviews about Bournemouth Uni are based largely on what a great time ppl had at the beach . Scriptwriting MA. Don't waste your money. You have to attend lectures which will be on no use to you whatsoever. Semester 2 was a complete waste of time- Approaches to Industry is a unit that should be delivered in the library for those who feel they might benefit. It should not be on the curriculum but instead they waste your time showing you how to use Linked In when that time should be spent on your chosen area of study. Tip. Just go to the library and ask them to help with your CV instead of sitting in a 3 hour lecture every week. The lectures the whole cohort attend together are of no benefit to writers.and are directed at the other disciplines. The course was badly structured, a third of the class did not speak English and lectures were badly delivered.. Teach yourself..I'ts what you will do anyway. Save yourself the stress and disappointment. Just buy a copy of Syd Field,

MOSTLY SELF LEARNING, LECTURERS DO NOT TEACH. MA Scriptwriting is badly structured that you barely learn from your lecturers, instead your teacher can be a google. You can be a part of somebody's Phd research without your consent. They may use you as a guinea pig. While talking to Dee( lecturer) about collaborative shooting short film problems, I got the response "Shut Up."It is necessary to question how correct an approach in the academic field is a language that cannot control one's temper and exceeds the limits of respect When I told Phil(lecturer) that I was still learning and that I was not a screenwriter, he said, "There's the Door." He implied that you can go out. Lecturers need to control their nerves when talking to students. A style that reaches the level of "Shut Up" is never suitable for the academic field.

I've found my time here to be boring and disappointing. Lectures are so useless half the time most of the course don't attend and the staff are left wondering why, even though it's painfully obvious. Most staff are decent enough, but you don't ever feel any sense of community or comradery with fellow course-mates or staff. Booking any of the uni facilities can be a bureaucratic hell, 'make sure you email so and so, add this to your RA, have you cleared this with so and so?' etc. It is a major deterrent against doing anything unless you really have to. Local clubs get old very quickly and if you're not into nightlife you're going to struggle.
