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.

Life is short, ride hard
Film Studies and History of Art MA (Hons)
University Of Aberdeen
Matylda, February 2008Overall score
I really enjoy it. The people are really the best than anywhere else. And I should definitely recommend my uni of Aberdeen. That they should just be themselves, happy to wake up next day, be openminded and nice to people, cuz what goes around comes around!
Study experience
I am studying the History of Art and really enjoy it! Lectures are really helpful, esp seminars. Study a lot!
Facilities
Library is a very good place to study and very well equiped. Computers are enough in the number. Bar is ok. And we have got some sport facilities but we haven't got inside tennis courts which sucks!
Postgraduate life
My uni has got a lot of clubs. You can join many different clubs. You can meet awesome people and be yourself!
Job prospects
I know I could have got some opportunities here in Aberdeen or in Scotland. But actually I would love to continue my film interests and move to New Zealand to study Film Designs over there!

Watch out for the seagulls!
Film and Visual Culture and Philosophy MA (Hons)
University Of Aberdeen
Louise, May 2010Overall score
Overall Aberdeen Uni is lovely, the courses are good if your interested in them. I like the course i am doing at the minute as its different from what i had imagined at the start but its still very hard But if your coming to do philosophy i would recommend brushing up on your skills first.
Study experience
I am interested in film etc so chose to do it based on my interest, but i expected it to be a course with no thought behind it, which it isnt its the complete opposite, your gonna have to do work no matter what. Philosophy is harrrrd, but interesting.. Someday i will know everything.
Facilities
Its sad that we dont have a union because i would imagine it would be good... someday perhaps. Apparently the library is good.........but there making a new one which will look class when its done soon.
Postgraduate life
Yea there is alot of them, during freshers week i joined a few, eg, rock and metal society they go out on gigs the odd time and often have nights out to local rock clubs.. in saying that ive been once. but alot of friends are in clubs and they love them i must join more, im probably missing out on something.. maybe under water hockey or fire breathing..
Job prospects
Hopefully there will be something for me to do. . maybe il make philosophical films :D. The chances are il go on and do a postgrade in something after im finished, maybe a one year teaching course that would be cool, the uni has lots of services available to help with whatever you fancy doing after so im glad. :D
