Refund for a degree we aren't being given Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/refund-for-a-degree-we-arent-being-given.html Online petition signatures en-us Sat, 18 Apr 2026 11:01 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mr Jack HAyter [Signature #37] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/14279572?utm_medium=rss This news has caused a huge amount of displeasure amongst much of my alumni. Many of us used the Skillset accreditation as a filter when choosing courses . Now, to have the entry grades lowered, and the Skillset 'tick' lost. What was the point coming to Glamorgan in the first place!?

The fact that some lecturers do not even know what they are supposed to be teaching is outrageous, and that almost zero effort has been made to improve the course in the last academic year. I find it ridiculous we are ending up in debt for a degree we can't use.

]]> Tue, 18 Dec 2012 06:47:56 UTC 14252859 Miss Megan Huggins [Signature #24] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/14250255?utm_medium=rss The Film and Video course is not up to standards for industry based teaching. This course has no support sessions for the practical assignments. It has been faulsely advertised. The course has clearly not updated it's modules as most do not apply in their modern industry. The award leader has made no effort to improve upon the course or asked the students for their thoughts. Most lecturers do not fully understand what they are teaching and can not give the proper and expected help. I suggest the awards leader and lecturers work the students and revise the course structure. It hasn't deserved it's skillset award for a while and all students feel cheated that they have paid for a lower standard of teaching. It is unacceptable.

I feel I do not know enough about the practical aspects of film making. We have fantastic facilities we are not being given a chance to use. I learnt more about film making, and had more experience in sixth form media studies, for free, than I have gotten out of having to pay thousands for. If this course carries on the way it is, I can say with certainty that I will not be qualified or experienced enough to get a job in the industry, which was promised to us before applying.

If i was to know this before applying to Glamorgan University i would have never come here.

It was one of the main reasons i applied and accepted this university. The teaching in most modules is substandard and all members of the Film and Video course would agree.

I understand that with any academic course there must be some form of theory to support practical work. However, I feel that my assignment marks are heavily reflected on my ability to construct an essay or to present analytical findings rather than my ability to make films.
