I am really sorry to hear that you are withdrawing from your current university but hopefully you find one that is perfect for you and you enjoy your three years there.
Luckily my friend Naomi studied Fine Art at the University of Gloucestershire and had so many fantastic opportunities. SHE EVEN GOT TO STUDY ART IN ITALY!!!
As part of the Illustration course at the uni, you are able to take part in so many amazing opportunities. A really big selling point is the opportunity to take part in the Cheltenham Literature Festival, a renowned festival where you are able to show off your work, work with authors and artists and help to put on the event. The festival has so many amazing authors visiting like JK Rowling, Stephen Fry and John Cleese!! You can also showcase your work in France at its famous comic art event, an amazing opportunity!
The course is also really great, you are able to focus on establishing your style and work as an illustrator. The lecturers are also brilliant, particularly the technician Mark who will help you with anything and knows everything! Take a look at their instagram account, its amazing, you can see all of the work that the illustration students do, and also what the course get up to such as exercising together and drinking coffee together in Rome!!
I hope that gives you an idea of the type of experience you could have at at UOG.
