Connor's BA Graphic Design and Visual Communications Experience
What is your favourite thing about Swansea campus?
Being surrounded by so many like-minded and creative people and the different styles of art being displayed campus wide.
Why did you choose UWTSD?
I was offered an unconditional place with UWTSD during my interview and that pushed me towards the university as it made me feel like I was on the same wavelength as them and I thought I could learn so much from so many different lecturers.
What do you enjoy outside your studies?
I’m a dancer for various companies and schools around the UK which gives me the opportunity to travel worldwide from Germany to America, either to perform or teach, and there’s not much else I love more than dance.
What do you hope to do when you graduate?
My dream would be to essentially keep doing what I’m doing now – to be able to be creative for a living.
From graphics to dance, I truly believe art makes the world go round.
I would love to build my own creative studio up and have different departments involved like dance, graphics, photography and so many more.
What is your favourite thing about your course?
My favourite thing about my course right now is the fact that the lecturers are so understanding about sensitive topics and are very supportive when needed.
Would you recommend UWTSD and why?
Yes, I would recommend UWTSD, the staff alone have such experience in their areas of expertise, and they have so much to teach and share with students.
