Sophie Hynd
HND in 3D Computer Animation
I have always had a passion for art and design , but then I discovered the digital side of art . When I joined Fife College , I started on the 3D Computer Animation course at HNC level , where you learn about movies , games , television series and so much more .
From the HNC , I progressed to my HND and then went on to join third year of university in Glasgow .
Coming to Fife College suited me initially because I was working part time and didn ’ t need to move away to go to university . My first two years were completed at Fife College which helped me progress onto my third year of university and that suited me best .
“ Although I moved to Glasgow to complete my degree , my foundation was built here in Fife , on my doorstep .”
