Love every part of my course and the focus is there and it is so different from a other course, because it is so practical. However I which there were more focus on specialities in photography, like fashion, journalism, or food.

Over the years the course has been a bit of a mix bag, the first year felt really quite promising an engaging with great encouragement from tutors however the second year struggles in comparison there was on going teachers strikes during my year which impacted one of the units quite a lot, the third year did make up for this though as a pretty good self made project. The tutors do try their best however sometimes it does feel like that they're not really listening or don't understand what it is that you are wanting to do. It's also hard to understand where all the money I pay the uni is going as so many of the supplies and equipment are out of date or poor quality. read more

I'm very happy that I chose film production. Overall the course so far has provided me with everything I've wanted from it, however, I would like even more film-shooting content to have been part of the course as opposed to the Film Language module which feels like a waste of time as it's more film studies than film production and doesn't reward students wanting to create films as it's far too irrelevant and academic based for this type of course . read more

I learnt a great deal on my course at Portsmouth and it enabled me to both go on a placement year and land a job immediately after graduation. The course reshuffled during my time there and units changed, so it looks like there is continuous analysis on how to improve the course. My lecturers were fantastic and helped me along the way. The course changed significantly during COVID and as I didn't have access to facilities I can't honestly say my final year was worth the money I paid, but that couldn't be helped. read more
