University of the West of England Bristol - UWE
speciality: Performing Arts

I can’t recommend studying at UWE Bristol enough. I studied filmmaking and had great opportunities collaborating with many other artistic departments! The course was all driven by team work and very practical. One of my favourite modules was ‘specialised skill’ where we got to explore independently a random skill of our choice, I chose claymation animation and spent time in that department collaborating with my production design skills! The bower campus is in one of the largest parks Aston gate, surrounded by nature, wildlife including lots of deers!! It was very grounding when your studying. The vibrant bubbly city of Bristol is also like no other. It has a great music scene, artistic cafes and incredible restaurants and many vintage shops.

When there is actual practical stuff it’s pretty good. when there’s not… it’s very mediocre. sometimes we are really just doing stuff that should be expected of uni students

that said creative writing is really good

Despite the fact that university is a time for students to become independent and to start learning independently, I wasn’t expected to be taught anything in my lectures. We were expected to know everything already, which was difficult for some of us that hadn’t studied the course before. I felt that there was barely any practical/hands-on work at the beginning which was disappointing.
