Program details
Overview
Graduates of the Animation diploma have a solid grasp of the core ideas behind animation and the techniques used to produce it, built through frequent, repeated practice across a range of exercises, and students come to know both the creative and technical sides of making animation, gaining the knowledge and skills needed to help create and animate characters, objects and environments across media such as video games, television, film and the web. Classical art skills are developed alongside the use of animation tools and industry-standard technology and software, and graduates are also equipped to help plan and carry out animation projects as a contributing member of a production pipeline.

Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for Fall 2027 entry, applications open in early October 2026 and the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, after which later applications are assessed on a first-come basis until seats fill; non-competitive programs begin receiving offers from 1 November 2026, competitive-program offers go out by 30 March 2027, and 1 May 2027 is the usual deadline to accept an offer. International applicants apply directly to Fanshawe (CAD 100 fee) and face fixed document deadlines rather than a single closing date: for the current intakes, study-permit and conditions-met documents are due 10/15 August 2026 (Fall), 9/15 December 2026 (Winter) and 5/15 April 2027 (Summer); missing a deadline can mean deferral to the next intake. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
