ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ

Hello, my name is Jack, and I'm a second year Film Studies student.

In this video, I hope to provide some sort of insight into what it's like to study film at Sussex.

[ON SCREEN TEXT] CHOOSING SUSSEX

One of the things I liked the most about Sussex is the campus itself.

So... I can go for a walk in the countryside, which surrounds the campus if I'm studying all day and it's getting stressful.

It's got that tranquil environment, but at the same time there's always something going on.

I also like the fact that everything's all in one place.

You've got the pharmacy, the library, the study spaces.

[ON SCREEN TEXT] STARTING UNI

Starting university was quite different to anything I had experienced before.

But luckily, by the end of the first term, I had adjusted to this new way of living.

It certainly is different to sixth form or working full-time, and staff are quite accommodating to that because everyone is in the same boat.

[ON SCREEN TEXT] FAVOURITE THINGS

One of my favourite things is that you're not restricted to studying... modules that are related just to your course.

Since Film Studies falls under the domain of arts and humanities, you can also study art history, language, media, english... and that helps to contextualise your learning.

[ON SCREEN TEXT] HOW I’VE CHANGED

Professionally, I have grown.

I know, of course, a lot more about the film industry.

But on a more general level, I can conduct research, collate data and... the whole way that I approach a project has become much more frictionless.

ON SCREEN TEXT] MY ADVICE

My final words of advice is that there are many... factors that determine whether or not a university is right for you, so it's important to follow your intuition.

I know that Sussex however, does have a bit of everything.

It's got the... campus, the city, the countryside and the sea.
