Meet Mario - University of South Wales

I had always wanted to study Animation in the UK, so I started to research the best Animation programmes in Europe, to help me decide where to attend.

I saw that the University of South Wales’ Animation programme was a member of ETNA (The European Training Network for Animation Schools) so it started from there!

I was fortunate to gain a scholarship from the Consejo Nacional de la Cultura y las Artes (a Chilean government agency), who supported me by sponsoring my tuition fees, which helped me greatly to fund my studies.
