Program details
Overview
This eight-month graduate certificate program will allow you to study 3D computer-based modelling and animation using high-end computer workstations, software and tools. You will learn the principles of animation to develop and master your knowledge of lighting, texturing and rendering, and fundamental elements of 3D animation.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The program requires an Ontario university or college degree, diploma, or equivalent in fine art, 2D/3D animation, photography, film/video, architecture, or graphic design. Applicants without that credential may instead qualify through a partial postsecondary record combined with three to five years of related work experience, supported by a resume and references. English proficiency is required at the level Seneca sets for its graduate certificates: per the institution's admission requirements for Canadian applicants to master's and graduate-certificate programs, this means IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT with no section score below 22/30, PTE 60, or Duolingo 120, unless the applicant is exempt through prior study in English. Canadian citizens and permanent residents educated outside Canada must supply a WES or ICAS credential evaluation, and international applicants face Seneca's separate English requirements.
