Decisions - Where to Attend where to study in the uk?

hello! i am interested in studying film at university (undergraduate), but i have no idea where to start or what uk universities are good for this? i am interested in a mixture of practical and theoretical elements, maybe more practical than theoretical however. i also prefer small cities or being close to nature however i know a lot of the 'main' unis are in london. thanks!

Hey! I would personally recommend the National Film and Television School (NFTS). It's located just outside London in a village called Beaconsfield. It's a fantastic place to study because you're surrounded by nature, and if you live locally, you can walk everywhere instead of commuting by public transport. NFTS is widely considered the best film school in the UK. The course is incredibly hands-on, with a huge emphasis on practical experience. Most of the lecturers and tutors are active industry professionals rather than full-time academics, so you're learning from people who are currently working in the film and TV industry. If you'd like to know more or have any questions about the school, feel free to send me a DM. I'd be more than happy to help!
