Animation degrees in South West England

I attend UOG Francis Close Hall campus and it's so incredibly inspiring. It's a great oldy-worldy historical site and it was really the deal-breaker for me choosing UOG; although my course mates and I were severely let down when we were told we would have to move to Oxstalls campus in Gloucester... we managed to get the union involved but only managed to get it pushed back a year for us, all new students in September for social science will be in Oxstalls and won't get to experience the beauty of FCH. Such a shame. Despite this, the facilities are amazing, staff are equipped with great knowledge and are all incredibly friendly. All students are friendly and light-minded, it's a great environment to study in and socialise. I commute so I cannot speak on the social side of student accommodation and/or going out, but as a commuter it meets all my needs! I really recommend studying here, the lecturers know what they're talking about, and are amazing at illustrating theories and concepts in ways that make sense.

I think that the uni needs more availability for booking tutorials and things. I think we should be able to sell our art in the uni reception too. I think the uni is great in regards to student support

As a final year student, reflecting I can confidently say this course has been a great place to study and grow both professionally and personally. I love the course and I have made some of my closest friends here in Bournemouth, which has created a supportive and collaborative environment throughout my time studying. The teaching staff are highly knowledgeable and have had so much experience in the industry to share, they are approachable and genuinely invested in our toolkit. One of the strongest aspects of the course is the opportunity to collaborate with the Bournemouth Film School. This has been an invaluable experience, allowing me to work on graduate films, understand professional screen practice, and begin building industry connections before graduating. Overall, this course has been an extremely positive and formative experience, and I would highly recommend it to any student looking to develop their craft! Go for it!

Best part was deffinately the student life event throughout the year, the general staff, making me feel at home and having genuinly good event that are interesting, other then that, the teachers, the accommodation and everything else was really nice. One bad thing that i'd want to mention was, the difficulty of studies, even tho it was first year, coming from a strict system like A levels to an easy going slow burn education system was weird, and the tests were loosely checked for cheating or anything like that, made it really hard to genuinly study and take it seriously enough to the point i was expecting from uni. Still, thats just a culture shock going from a levels to uni first year. All and all, the full experience was so good that, the worst thing was "it wasn't hard enough"

the facilities are so incredible and i feel that i am really getting great experienc that i could apply within the industry. I think the student union could be improved with more things that can bring everyone together
