What course should I do within the arts?

I am currently studying fine art at a level but plan on pursuing an arts course when I go to uni next year. I just don’t know which course to select. I am thinking animation at the moment as it covers a lot of ground and has a lot of transferable skills. I am more interested and passionate about the more illustrative drawing side of the arts, but illustration courses don’t really appeal to me or I am yet to see a uni that presents it in a way that would make me consider choosing it. I would like to express my ideas and world view through my art (much like fine art) but would also like to understand the ways to communicate this world view, possibly though a narrative like animation.

Hi @Eudamus_L
Firstly I would really recommend a art and design foundation year course as you get a chance to try a whole range of mediums at a higher level. It is a great bridge from a-level to uni and gives you more time to find what you enjoy, build a portfolio, research and go to open days.
Alternatively I would recommend going to open days and going to talks for a range of courses to see what you like. Also look at the student work to see what kind of projects you will be working on. Degree shows/exhibitions are also goof for seeing student work, or looking at course Instagram's.
I hope this helps and if you have any questions feel free to ask
