What You'll Study

1 Year 0
Year 0 is a preparatory year as part of the four-year BA (Hons) Animation course. It is an ideal opportunity for you to further develop your portfolio skills ahead of degree study.
2 Year 1
You will build fundamental skills in contemporary animation software and equipment and begin to learn the art of storytelling through the 12 animation principles, combining creative thinking and applied techniques. We will encourage you to start thinking about your own reflective practice and contextual studies research.
3 Year 2
You will specialise within animation production, in areas such as visual effects and character performance. This will allow you to enhance your practice and develop an approach to your personal creative output. We aim to set a variety of live project briefs, with some working with partners in the charity, health and education sectors.
4 Year 3
You will bring their learnings together in a final major animation project, with the aim of pitching your skills to other students on the course and eventually to industry. We will also ask you to show your contextual studies research and thinking through a long-form dissertation. Finally, you will complete a personal portfolio of your skills, so you are ready for entry into your industry of choice.
