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

Eva Palacios bullied me and not supported me as of needed when I was threated to be killed and thrown of a building form other students due to false claims - instead she supported them and helped them write false claims. Revolting human being she is. read more

My course is very enjoyable and the tutors help to make it enjoyable. The tutors make all the resources available through moodle which makes the course very easy to follow, and they always make themselves available to support you as best as they can. Despite the course being challenging like any university course, the work was very relevant and very enjoyable. read more
