Currently in my third year of study for Film and Media at QMU and I don't regret one day of it. As someone who didn't have a film reel or any real experience before entering university this course has given me a chance to make content I can be proud of: from short films to news stories to promotional content for real life businesses. Film and Media is a bit more theory heavy than a fully practical course, but for me this basis has helped to understand the complexities of the world we live in and will create content for. The Film part teaches good understanding of filmmaking, while the Media part prepares you for a variety of roles you can take after graduation. A well balanced course and exactly what I looked for three years ago!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience in my course so far. I am a second year Film & Media student and have found the course to be very diverse in module's, offering knowledge and experience in different fields of Film and Media (not just the production side). I feel that even the less interesting modules have been beneficial to my future career pursuits. Enthusiastic lecturers and great atmosphere, I recommend to anyone interested in any film related career.

Having spent 4 great years at this university, I can only recommend film enthusiasts who are thinking of getting into higher education to give QMU a go! The course provides an excellent balance between the critical study of the film and media industries and practical studies including filmmaking, and photography. The Film and Media course is full of tutors, who know your name and are happy to stop and have a chat with you about anything. Having just shot my Dissertation short film, I realize the foundation I have gained here and I am confident in my future. I also really enjoyed the academic side of the course which just made me a better filmmaker.

Great University with an excellent Film and Media course where in currently finishing my 3rd Year. Good balance of theoretical and practical in the first two years of the course followed by a variety of different options and pathways for career development within 3rd and 4th year; may that be practical, focused on a specific topic and craft or theoretical with plenty of options for your dissertation. Teaching staff is very passionate and are always happy to help and help you develop ideas. Good with communication and really take your ideas on board when developing modules. Good location with a small but vibrant community on campus and especially within classes.

It's an incredible university. Very small but has a really cosy feel. The staff are responsive and care about your education. Film and media has been a blast as I have been given many opportunities for work. The course does involve more theory than some would like because it is a university degree. I would highly recommend.

Budding filmmakers, beware! If any of you are looking to study Film in Scotland, stay the hell away from QMU. Their Film and Media course, honest to god, might as well be called Media and Film; very dull, very dry and very theory-heavy. You'll come here thinking that this course will provide you with the progression that your career so desperately needs. In reality, all it really does is drive a wedge between you and the craft that you so desperately love. Again, if you are to ever going to study film in Scotland, go to Napier, RCS, ECA or even Stirling. I've at least met some industry professionals from that alumnus. If you can't even get into those schools, then just hit the bricks and go the practical route, that's what I did and I couldn't be happier. Honestly, I'm glad to say that I got out while I could. Can't say the same for the others.

Security would not give me a walkie talkie I WANT A WALKIE TALKIE.

Very largest University in Europe Queen virgin University is biggest and oldest University and gorgeous campus campus and I'm good facility all of our students transportation facilities help in health insurance facilities escholarship health facilities.

I studied here! It was a great course (SLT), if you do an occupational course you'd expect it to have a level of practical as well as theory, and it certainly gave us that. The university itself was a nice building, lots of light and a straightforward layout. The grounds are quite nice to walk around but very small. The lecturers I had were mostly great, canteen staff were always really friendly, the only thing I would say was that if you were a student living at home then they didn't provide much opportunity for you to make friends, you had to do it yourself! The student union and sports teams were small / not much to do and I didn't end up having much to do with them. QMU is seen as quite forward thinking and modern out of all the Scottish Universities!

An amazing university that is small enough to make you feel fully supported but large enough to have a great student union, amazing basketball teams and other societies. Work hard, play hard and friendly to commuters with a decent sized car park. Preferred over Edinburgh uni (attended there). Less like a dog and money maker.

Handy for the A1 and Musselburgh station. This is definitely East Lothian's best university.

A school full of discrimination, unfair and overbearing.

Aside from the lack of education, would recommend.

Excellent staff and excellent classes, good facilities and a very relaxed atmosphere!

Good gym & free weights room and the classes are brilliant. Well taught and very motivating, would and have recommended to friends and family.

Have really enjoyed using the facilities. Well equipped gym and classes are good too. Staff are very friendly and helpful and keep you motivated.

Fantastic only visited a few days ago. Much larger than QMUC.

It has been amazing, really. Good school, good teachers. The school is clean and big.
