BA/BS in Animation

This bachelor's programme teaches the artistic, craft and technological foundations of classical, experimental and digital 2D and 3D animation. A distinguishing feature is that students can be responsible for a film from the first idea and visual style through storyboard and character design to sound and screening. The university provides analogue and digital animation studios, computer labs, a render farm, editing and audio suites, compositing rooms and a motion-capture studio. Artistic, dramaturgical and technical advice is given mostly in individual sessions, and practical exercises take priority throughout. By the end of the course each student completes an independent animated film and assembles their exercises into a showreel. The aim is a holistic grasp of what it takes to realise authored animated films. Graduates work in animation studios at home and abroad or found studios of their own.
