Animation - BA (Hons)

University of Brighton

A greatly diverse experience having teachers and student alike from all over the world with varying experiences and background. Attentive tutor eager to teach and support always on hand. Whilst location wise having to travel a lot especially when all the university buildings are all over Brighton is annoying, they keep facilities in one building so you won't have to travel from one to another between lessons.

I attend the city campus, in particular the smallest location on the city campus. I do love Brighton and the campus location is very close to town which I like. Although some of the facilities such as computers, software and cameras etc. are very useful, there isn't a lot of specialised equipment for animation. There is a small animation room with rostrums and one green screen and 3 light boxes, which isn't a lot for a whole campus. I think that I would have liked to have seen more facilities such as lighting, 3D printing or even personal work spaces. Also, there aren't many social areas or any vending machines on my campus. The only available food is a mobile truck outside that sells soup and coffee. I do think that the student support is very good, although I haven't personally needed to use it much, I have been made aware that the various branches of student support exist, should I need to use it. The online system for students to check emails or access onedrive, course materials etc. isn't very intuitive, I think a lot of people on my course have often been confused by it. This might be especially difficult for students with learning disability.
