Great if you want to know more about film theory
Film and Television: Theory, Culture and Industry MA
University Of Westminster
Ed, February 2010Overall score
I enjoyed this course and found a lot of the theory I learnt very interesting. It is a very theoretical course and if you get annoyed by a certain degree of intellectual postering this might not necessarily be for you! I did the MA as I had slighly naive ambitions to 'work in the film industry'. If you want to work in film, this course is related but it is not practical in any way. That said I am pretty sure one of my course mates ended up working in the film industry. The course is probably more useful if you want to go into film journalism, but although it will certainly increase your knowledge of film, it will teach you how to write about film in an academic rather than a journalistic way.
Study experience
The lecturers on the whole were really good, and all showed a passion for film. I have a whole load of notes and course material that I've kept, so we weren't short of a hand out or two. I remember when I did my dissertation my lecturer was pretty involved and helpful, although I seem to remember it took him a little while to get back to emails, but he was a busy guy. I think the course was value for money in that I learnt a lot, but I think I would have been better off spending the course fees on a more practical course. But this was more related to my own ambitions rather than the course itself. If you love film and simply want to do a course in order to learn more about it, then this is a good one to go on.
Facilities
I was a part time student and didn't really access any of the facilities at my disposal. The campus at Harrow looked pretty nice and shiny though. Thinking about it, it was a bit of a schlep having to go to both the Westminster Campus and the Harrow Campus, but that was the nature of the university.
Postgraduate life
I met a couple of cool people on the course who I spent time with whilst I was studying, but who I haven't kept in contact (more a mark of my laziness than their personalities). We'd often go out for a drink together after class, and the lecturer would join us (one of the advantages of being a grown up postgrad). The two campuses that I had to get to were on Regent Street and Northwick Park. Loads to do in Regent Street and bugger all to do in Northwick Park. But Northwick Park was a self contained campus, and if I had been an undergraduate student there I think it would have been OK (I certainly got a heady dose of nostalgia every time I had to walk past the university flats. Ah, the life of an undergraduate...)
Job prospects
To be honest, I really don't see this MA as being especially vocational. It gives you knowledge, but then it's up to as to how you utilise it. Other than being able to bore people about sexuality and the Hannibal Lector trilogy, I don't think the MA taught me anything that would have been essential for me if I had wanted to pursue a career in film in some way. But it was really interesting none the less.

Aberdeen uni
English and Film Studies MA (Hons)
University Of Aberdeen
Amy, February 2009Overall score
aberdeen univerisity is a good uni but one thing to consider if your moving from elsewhere is how far away it is from any other city!
Study experience
i find lectures pretty boring but i hate concentrating. dont go to that many to comment tbh,.
Facilities
these are pretty good. library i think stays open quite late like 10pm (but im not hundred percent on that) plus webct with all the lectures on it for most courses. this can be pretty handy! but i think most unis have something similar.
Postgraduate life
im not a member of any this year but i know everybody has a good time who is a member of one and there are plenty. most charge you to join up though
Job prospects
dunt know about when you graduate but ive had no problem finding part time work whilst i study

Nottingham Trent - The place for Game Design
Multimedia Games Engineering MSc
Nottingham Trent University
Jamie, May 2010Overall score
Nottingham Trent University is a very good University, and certainly the best one I have been to despite it's minor flaws. I would say that if you want to learn how to make computer games or code in general, Nottingham Trent is one of the best options available to you.
Study experience
The course does lack a little in terms of actual game design and guidance, but the amount of help I have had from fellow students in learning how to code has made up for that. I would say that if you come to Trent you need to make friends fast and make sure to ask about anything you don't understand if you really want to learn.
Facilities
The facilities are adequate, but one of the gyms is a bit basic and a lot of free software (such as XNA) is available in some rooms and not others for no good reason at all. The computers and software are ageing somewhat, but they are still good.
Postgraduate life
I co-founded and was once president of the Development society here at NTU and the support we received was fantastic. There are many other clubs to join such as Snowsports and Rock Soc but if you aren't living in the centre of town these can be very hard to get to.
Job prospects
I wouldn't even be thinking of trying to make computer games for a living without this degree. I did have to do a lot of it with help from other student on my course and not as much was taught as I would like, but it is still a solid course.
