Finding the right path at USW
I’ve always had a passion for creativity, partly inspired by my sister, who’s already working in the creative industry. I initially studied business management in America but wanted to pursue something more artistic. When I found USW’s advertising course, it seemed like the perfect fit, especially since Cardiff is close to home and more affordable than other UK cities. Although I didn’t attend an Open Day, I felt confident in my decision.
The facilities at USW, like access to Adobe software, a video studio, and rental equipment, have been great tools. Cardiff’s creative community is supportive, even if it’s a smaller scene compared to London, which feels like a more accessible starting point.

So far, the course has given me hands-on experience, like working with Welsh Brew Tea on a live brief and creating a campaign for Lego, which helped me understand the industry better. My favourite part has been the diverse coursework and the personalised support we get from our tutors, who really listen to our ideas.
After graduation, my dream is to work up to a creative director role, possibly starting as a copywriter to build my skills. Eventually, I’d love to work in the UK or Europe and, one day, return to Estonia to contribute to the industry there.
