What our students think

Film is particularly well represented, with the University boasting a cinema that shows a number of blockbuster films as well as independent and world cinema. There are also excellent off-campus facilities for film - a thriving independent cinema that also hosts special events and two multiplexes, so Southampton is certainly a good choice if film is your passion.

There are so many opportunities that the university offers in terms of the societies, the social life and, of course, on the course itself. You will meet so many different people, have so many different experiences and hopefully learn a lot about a subject that you’re passionate about.

The film course at Southampton provides the essential tools for anyone who wants to work in film.

When I first arrived, I had no idea what to expect. I was so happy to find myself in small seminar groups with very friendly teachers.

Attending the University of Southampton has been the best decision I have ever made and it is an experience that I will never forget. Not only does the course teach you a great deal about the subject you are studying but it is the experience of university life that helps develop you as an individual.

Throughout the course my participation in extra-curricular societies has swayed my ambitions to television, which is strengthened by my work in film.

I have already recommended the programme to others. It’s very good academically and it’s the kind of place where you want to develop your studies.

The course looked amazing, and there are loads of great options to choose from in your second and third year so you can do things you really enjoy. It's interesting, challenging and lots of fun, and I've really enjoyed it!
