Animation

The BA (Hons) Animation course covers hand-drawn and digital animation, teaching students to bring characters, worlds and stories to life. It aims to develop a personal style alongside the skills a creative career requires, from early sketches to finished moving image. Students build a portfolio across the degree, supported by studio work and industry-focused projects that mirror professional production. Entry is based on relevant A-levels, BTEC qualifications or equivalents, as set out in the published entry requirements. The course is delivered at the Mabgate Campus and prepares graduates for creative careers in animation, where a strong portfolio and the ability to work collaboratively open doors. Graduates are prepared to present their work confidently when seeking employment or further study. Practice-based projects help students build the style that sets their work apart.
