AUB or South Wales?
Hi!
I was just wondering which university( AUB or South Wales Cardiff) would people reccomend to go to for 2d animation? I've visited both and I feel quite torn between them at the moment

I think it's a personal choice, which one did you prefer location wise? What's the cost of living comparison, nightlife, societies available etc.. you can also look at stats at which university performs better or has the best jobs after graduation rate. maybe post this question on each universities page to see if anyone has a day in the life blog or anything. TikTok will also have some of these.
Hope this helps,

We've been looking at quite a few Animation courses all over the country for my daughter for next year and been to both. Her top choice has always been AUB even before visiting due to the research she did , she preferred the campus, the course content , the area ( although both Cardiff and Bournemouth do seem to have their issues ) ,thought that the past animation reel examples were of a higher standard at AUB and also really only wants to do 2d as loves drawing so wasn't bothered about the stopmo at USW which they seemed to do just as much of . The 2 courses at USW and AUB were quite different so depends what you feel suits and interests you the most. My daughter has applied to both and others ( Herts, NUA and Nottingham Trent ) and has been accepted to USW already without the need of a portfolio pending grade confirmation in August but is holding out for AUB still with Herts as her second choice so will have to wait to see if her portfolio is good enough. Also i think the entry requirements are a lot higher at AUB. But obviously is very much a personal choice and depends where you think you will feel most at home and get the best enjoyment and motivation out of the course!
