Maria

UWE Bristol

Art

For me, everything started when I was in kindergarten. My days would be spent singing, dancing, painting, making bread and climbing every tree in the garden. After kindergarten, I went to the Music Conservatory where I graduated after 11 years of playing the flute. However, that was not enough so I continued to explore what art could mean and how many forms it could have. So, at 18 I decided to have my first ballet class. It was then that I discovered my passion for dance and performance and decided to dedicated myself intensively to the dance world until COVID-19 hit. It was during lockdown that I became interested in learning how to sew so I could create costumes to empower my performances. I started making my own video dances and films. Now, I am not only a musician and a performer, but I am also a costume-maker and set designer.

Anastasiia

University of Essex

Art History

I am a 28 y.o. PhD student with a background in Museum Studies (St Petersburg State University of Culture) and Curatorial Research (St Petersburg State University). My PhD is sponsored by Essex's Human Rights Centre. I'm here to help you start your academic journey with the UoE. 

Ask me anything about PGR studies at Essex (especially PHAIS), financial support for international students, accommodation, life on and off campus (especially cultural events, e.g. museums, theatres, etc.) and what it's like to live in the UK/Colchester (e.g. what's there for people from my (and probably yours!) part of the globe, such as where we celebrate Orthodox Easter!). 

Fun facts about me: travelled to 30+ countries; have a cute little chinchilla named Pyshka 🍩; learnt that all stereotypes about British weather are true yet still enjoy it here.

Kiya

Bournemouth University

BA (Hons) Computer Animation Art and Design

Hello! I'm Kiya, a student ambassador for Bournemouth University, studying Animation. Our course here is strongly focused on 3D animation, which allows us to explore industry-standard tools and techniques. While we don’t have a specific 2D animation unit, life drawing is a key part of the curriculum and really helps to develop an understanding of movement and anatomy—skills that are critical in both 2D and 3D animation.

I’ve always been fascinated by the way animation brings stories to life, whether it’s through films, musicals, or even video games. I’m especially inspired by movies like *Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse* for its incredible use of both 2D and 3D animation, and musicals like "back to the future the musical" which bring so much color and energy to storytelling along side film techniques on stage . Those influences really shape my creative process, and I often find myself blending styles from different mediums in my personal projects.

BU has given me a solid foundation in 3D animation through software like Maya and Unreal Engine, but what really excites me is how the course encourages us to think creatively and find our own artistic voice. It’s not just about the technical skills; it’s about how you tell a story visually and emotionally.

If you have any questions about the Animation course, BU, or why bournemouth is such a good place for animation students, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to share my experience and passion for animation!
