What our students say

Kate McCoid, a graduate currently building her film career, says:

“I had enrolled at another university for another course, but realised it wasn't for me. The University of Suffolk handled everything smoothly and within a week I was enrolled with them. I knew I wanted to study Film and the course covered a variety of areas.

“To me, the most appealing part was that it combined practical and theory. I enjoyed sound, film history and screenwriting the most. I had underestimated the importance of sound in film, and the knowledge of film history has helped me shape my own films through influence and inspiration. I think screenwriting should be a module every film student learns it is essential.”
