Have you applied to Greenwich ? They've got a good media course and in fact they usually have to close some of their campuses because movies are being shot there.. (Hollywood movies, that is)

Yeah trust me, you won't be satisfied with Uca and my friend got an unconditional offer from them last year. I've heard that they only help those who are really good at what they do. Not the beginners. But that's just what I heard.

I went to see it and it did look like a good uni, very modern. However, it's right opposite the 02 so when you're in the library it may be hard to concentrate on your studies.

I love Bournemouth too! In fact I'm even considering putting it first place instead of roehampton uni but I'm not sure yet. Bournemouth students seem to get the most placements though which leads to the possibility of permanent work so that's something to think about...

I'll send in the portfolio anyway to uca because it's better to have all offers then decide but yeah I'll consider all that you've said! I live overseas so it's hard for me to get a real grasp of the Unis and the areas but I've done a lot of research. I'm hoping once I get interviews I'll also check it out personally more.

I see :/ there's always going to be some downfalls but hopefully I hear back from them soon.

Have you heard back from all yours?

Yes I'm definitely considering Arts Uni Bournemouth but I'm sure it's pretty similar, just need to hear back from them if they want a portfolio or interview.

Have you received offers from all your choices?

Greenwich looked great until I saw there was a heck of theory and I wanted a 100% coursework course so I was gutted about that.
Oh okay yeah best to do that and good luck!! Nope, I've only received a conditional offer from roehampton and an unconditional offer from UWL. Bournemouth have asked me to submit a video that's about it. What did you apply for at BU?

Oh is it.?! What course in particular was that ?

Thank you! I wish you good luck on the rest of your offers!
What kind of deadline do they give you to respond back to their offers?

I chose BA (Hons) Film Production
Ohh I applied for the TV and film production course

Um Bournemouth want me to send them a video of 5 things they need to know about me and UWL gave me an unconditional offer and roehampton have given me a conditional offer. Kingston wanted a portfolio from me but I didn't send them one /:

i've also applied to LCC, Westminster, UCA and AUB. got a decent offer for UCA at the moment and an interview for kingston and AUB lined up (not sure when with kingston because i can't make it to the date they offered me so hopefully they'll give me a new one soon!)


Hi Cressida,

Have you been given a contact number? I would suggest calling ASAP to try and rearrange your interview.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

Hello,
I've applied to do Graphic Design and I sent my portfolio on the 19th, was just wondering how long it usually takes Kingston to make a decision?


Hi Nourels,

There are a lot of applications to get through so hold tight! I can't give you a definite date as it really depends on the faculty.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

I just read why your transferring and that's something I wanted also you know to have nightlife and be able to socialise as much as possible. I'll take that in consideration and I'm really wanting to go to Ravensbourne *fingers crossed* and I love Bournemouth it's such a great area it has everything!! The only thing that concerns me is London is a better place when it comes to media and film opportunities etc.


Hi Curious Student,

You are certainly right about London being great for film and media, I believe in the first week there are opportunities to go on a city tour of the locations of Harry Potter as well as being able to visit the real Baker Street (Sherlock).

I would also say that Kingston has a great nightlife and something going on most nights around the town. We are also 20/30 mins from Central London and there is a night bus you can get from Central London right back to Kingston, otherwise if you fancy a night out in Kingston we have a uni night bus Monday, Wednesday and Friday that runs until 3am (free of charge).

Please let me know if there is anything else you would like to know.

Good Luck!

Which one are you more likely to accept?
Bournemouth, I only applied for UWL to take up a space on my application.

What about you?
