Grace's BA Acting Experience
What is your favourite thing about Carmarthen campus?
There are lot of great walks and sights to see in the area as well as a good train link to major cities.
Why did you choose UWTSD?
I chose UWTSD due to small class sizes and options to study abroad.
What did you enjoy outside your studies?
I loved taking trips to Llansteffan beach which is a short drive away as well as going on nights out with my classmates after lectures.
What do you hope to do when you graduate?
I hope to work within the theatre industry using the skills and connections I have created while on this course. I also hope to do more travelling – after I had the opportunity to study abroad in California, I wanted to travel more and possibly look for work beyond the UK. I love exploring the ways in which the acting industry is different in a foreign country compared to back home.
What is your favourite thing about your course?
I love the valuable one to one time with the lecturers who are very caring and understanding. They made me feel at home and really helped me to be the best that I could be within my studies.
Would you recommend UWTSD and why?
I would recommend UWTSD as it is a close-knit community, and everyone is super friendly and supportive in many different departments. There were also lots of opportunities to work with the set design students as an actor in my third year, which was extremely useful.
