Picking my Uni for a career in the Television industry

I currently have an unconditional offer from Bournemouth (BU) for Film and TV Production and also an offer from Ravensbourne for Television Production (CCC which is achievable). I live in London so going to Ravensbourne would mean staying at home whereas a lot of my friends and my girlfriend are going away to uni. Ravensbourne also seems to lack social life as the Campus feels more like a college. Bournemouth however has this social life with lots of societies (Some that could help me build a portfolio) but would of course cost me a lot more money with accomidation, food etc. Which is the best course for getting into the TV production industry? Should i priortise the social life or money? and have other people who have moved away or stayed at home been happy with their options?

Good afternoon,

Choosing a university depends on what you want from your university experience. Every student wants something slightly different, such as lecture style or exam vs no exams. I always recommend deciding what you want from your university and writing a list. You can compare the two universities to your own criteria; this means the university will be the best fit for you.

The Whatuni website is good for Find A Course, as it offers a comprehensive list with reviews. Similarly, the UCAS website has tips on comparing undergraduate courses and universities, which is a great way to narrow down your options.

All the best,
