University of PortsmouthFilm and MediaHi! I'm Helena and I am studying BA Film and Television.

University of HertfordshireAnimation, film, games and creative mediaHi, I’m Allysa — a games student working towards becoming a games technical designer and artist. I’ve always been drawn to games, but I started with fine art and media production to build a strong creative foundation. Fine art sharpened my eye for detail and composition, while media production taught me how to tell stories across digital platforms. These experiences now fuel my approach to game design, where I combine artistic vision with technical problem-solving. If you’re curious about creative pathways into games or want to chat about finding your niche, I’m happy to help! Hadi
University of HertfordshireAnimation, film, games and creative mediaHello, I'm Hadi! I study 2D Animation, and love combining 2D & 3D mediums in my artwork! I mainly use Blender Greasepencil and Clip Studio Paint. I really enjoy meeting so many talented, creative students and learn so much from them! Before uni, I studied Digital Illustration & Animation at West Herts College. This is where I decided I wanted to pursue what makes me happy: producing cool and silly animations for a living! Do message me with any questions about the Animation courses - I'm super happy to help! Charlie
University of Wales Trinity Saint DavidFilm & TV (MArts, BA)I came to this degree as a mature student having done a Higher Education access course, and chose to study at UWTSD Swansea because its Film & TV course is ranked the best in Wales. My main creative passion is writing and I intend to use the skills that I develop in this degree to become a screenwriter when I graduate. Josh
Liverpool John Moores UniversityFilm Studies, BA (Hons)Hi! My name's Josh and I'm studying the first year of my MA in Film Studies at LJMU. If you have any questions about academic courses, student life or any other questions about university, don't hesitate to ask. Lara
King's College LondonFilm StudiesI've always been a creative person, fascinated by storytelling in all its forms—whether through film, photography, design, music, or writing. Growing up in Brazil, I was constantly drawn to the arts, but I also had a deep curiosity for subjects like psychology, neuroscience, and biology, which influence the way I approach filmmaking today. Before starting my undergraduate degree, I completed the International Foundation Programme in Liberal Arts and Social Sciences at King’s, which helped me transition into university life while exploring different academic fields. Now, I’m focused on filmmaking, with a particular passion for directing, cinematography, and screenwriting, always exploring the intersection of film with human emotions. I'm passionate about how film can spark feelings, shift perspectives, and bring powerful stories to life, and I hope to one day create projects that resonate with audiences and leave a lasting impact. As an international student, I’ve also had the opportunity to live in Denmark and now in the UK, which has shaped not only my worldview but also my creative approach. Moving to a new country and adapting to a different education system can be both exciting and overwhelming, so I’m happy to share my experiences and offer advice to prospective students who might be going through a similar journey. If you're considering studying Film Studies, starting university, or just curious about life at King’s, feel free to reach out! Robin
Southampton Solent UniversityBA (Hons) Film and TelevisionHi! I'm Robin, a second-year BA (Hons) Film and Television student. I've had an interest in film for the past five years and wanted to learn more about how it’s made - and see if I could learn to make something myself. After graduation, I would love to get into A24, Blumhouse or Shudder in any role that would allow me to work on an actual horror movie, rather than just watching them. Outside of that, I am a big fan of Dungeons & Dragons. I’ve found a group I’ve been playing with since I got to uni, and I also run Solent’s society for it. I hope I can help you going forward!
