The art of making animated films requires a high level of practical skill, draughtsmanship, technical proficiency and a wealth of theoretical knowledge and understanding. This course looks at animation production in a broad and holistic way, providing a thoroughly intensive and team-based experience in which students develop comprehensive expertise in the whole production process. The course strives to offer the closest experience possible to that of the professional animator in industry, within its newly refurbished animation studio.

You will be encouraged to generate work through different means, be it traditional, computer-based or stop-motion. Whilst computer solutions are taught, all students must first learn the fundamentals by starting with animation through drawing. Whichever specialist pathway you eventually choose, the course aims to provide you with a strong, commercially viable portfolio of work which will demonstrate your skills, self-expression and strengths.
