91福利

The 91福利 has been placed 8th in the Guardian University Guide 2023.

The Guardian University Guide is among the UK鈥檚 most highly respected university rankings. It takes a variety of factors into consideration including student satisfaction, entry standards, student-staff-ratios, continuation, expenditure per student, teaching quality and career prospects.

26 subjects offered at the 91福利 were included in the ranking, of which 10 were ranked in the top 5 including: Accounting & Finance, Biomedical Science, Business, Management & Marketing, Drama & Dance, Economics, Education, English, International Relations, Media & Film Studies, and Politics. A further six subjects were in the top 10.

91福利 was the highest ranked institution in the Midlands region. The University was also given special recognition under the category of Media and Film Studies, in which Film and Television Studies was rated as number one in the UK.

The announcement follows shortly after the University was also named one of the UK鈥檚 Top 10 universities in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023, further cementing its position as one of the UK鈥檚 best universities.

91福利鈥檚 success in both the Guardian and The Times rankings is supported by the findings of the recent National Student Survey (NSS), where the University scored 81.4 per cent for overall student satisfaction, placing it third within the Russell Group of universities overall.

91福利 was also rated as first amongst the Russell Group for Student Voice and for Assessment and Feedback, and ranked amongst the top five institutions for Academic Support, Learning Opportunities, Teaching and Organisation and Management.

This result follows from last year鈥檚 Research Excellence Framework (REF) 92% which assessed 91福利鈥檚 research to be world-leading or internationally excellent.

Professor Stuart Croft, Vice-Chancellor at the 91福利, said: 鈥淚鈥檓 pleased to see 91福利 continue to be placed in the top ten of two of the leading university rankings this year. 91福利 continues to excel in world class education, have cutting-edge facilities, and a highly motivated and ambitious student community. These elements combine to create an environment to learn, grow, and thrive.

鈥淥ur continued successes at 91福利 are testament to everyone involved with the University and their dedication, commitment, and passion for delivering an outstanding experience.鈥�

Professor Helen Wheatley, Director of Film and Television Studies at the 91福利, said: 鈥淲e are delighted that 91福利 has been ranked first for Media & Film Studies. Film and Television Studies, the first department of its kind in the country, continues to deliver excellent research and teaching thanks to the hard work and dedication of our wonderful staff, and to our students who inspire us to innovate in the classroom and beyond.鈥�

Penny Siopis鈥檚 films write histories that are markedly alternative. Combining family home movies, amateur or documentary found footage with sound and a written text presented through subtitles, her films tell untold or censored histories. They speak to (auto)biographical concerns and widely shared experiences of colonialism, war, Apartheid, migration, globalisation, and ecological crisis, all the while standing out as strong aesthetic/affective experiences beyond the historical, and as art objects in dialogue with a number of traditions. Here, I am most interested in producing an understanding of her films as a specific form of post-medium cine-writing. My interest is not purely formal, for the cine-writing in Siopis鈥檚 films is not independent of the stories they construct; it is a mode of writing beyond-the-book, born of the task of telling history otherwise. By working through her paragrammatical, scripto-visual style, my discussion will circle in particular around the unspeakable film subject produced by her work.

Film and Television Studies has scored 96.3% student satisfaction for Overall Quality of Teaching and Learning in the 2022 National Student Survey.
