3 reviews for Wiltshire College and University Centre

Good communication of subjects

Extra cleaning around campus and fewer students onsite due to Covid regulations meant that the campus was always very well kept, all equipment used during our filming and editing lessons were cleaned after use. Despite being in our class bubbles, there was still some access to facilities like food and drinks, classroom space to sit/work through lunch and well maintained loo facilities. There is usually a gym area, LRC centre and multiple shared spaces but these weren't in use due to the circumstances. The canteen has a coffee shop, vending machines and a fresh hot/cold food area, reasonably priced for students. There is recording equipment/camera hire for VFX/media students available.

There is definitely a focus on student wellbeing, there are informative wellbeing posters/artwork around the main building for students to see. Tutors can be made aware of any extra support needed for students needing it.

The course is spread over three days a week, this works well leaving the rest of the week to catch up on practical work and other projects/VFX theory work. I have just finished the first year and have already learnt key practical/software skills like using Green Screen filming and creating 3D models. The tutors delivered one lesson a week online through Teams and the other two days on campus, during the lockdowns all lessons were online. Despite the Covid disruptions we were able to complete all our units and only had to reschedule one project for later in the year, the tutors were happy to answer any questions/help with coursework via Teams.

There was a unit that specifically focused on employment prospects and how to navigate the industry, we did a mock interview with a VFX company and were given helpful feedback on how to move forward into employment. Other units also touched on employment and asked us to research industry professionals in our chosen field to better understand the journey. I personally feel much more confident in putting together a successful portfolio of work.

Yes

All the rooms had the correct equipment neesed for each of the units. And the uni was kept very clean and with that i was able to come back after the covid lockdown as the implementation of covid safty was done to a magnificent standard.

The course was taught really well given the circumstances of the pandemic. And were able to implement online lessons to a very high degree.

We would be told of jobs and or projects which we could do for companies which would help us in the futuer with working for these companies in the future. We were given every opportunity to do this.

Yes
