Program details

Overview

This specialisation within the Animation Design programme focuses on character design for film, games and digital media. Students study anatomy, shape and proportion, and learn how poses and facial expressions shape the impression a character makes. Work follows professional studio standards, from detailed model sheets to finished design packages. The programme covers methods and workflows for both 2D and 3D animation, with the main emphasis on three-dimensional character work. Students develop their own projects in their chosen specialisation, which builds a clear professional profile. It is offered as part-time distance learning over six semesters with 180 credit points, and no portfolio is required for admission. Students also work with the methods and tools used in professional 2D and 3D animation pipelines, which prepares them for practical studio work.
