Animation

This animation degree explores animated filmmaking in depth, from traditional and digital 2D animation through to stop-motion filmmaking and three-dimensional computer graphics. Students learn the software and techniques used in each form, along with the technical principles and artistic choices that sit beneath them. Teaching takes place in dedicated animation studios with specialist equipment. Early modules introduce core techniques and working practices, and students try out many visual approaches before settling on their own direction and developing a major project of their own over the later stages. Graduates can pursue careers in animation studios, games development and screen production, with a portfolio that reflects both technical competence and creative vision, and with the adaptability to move between different forms of moving image work.
