Course Overview

Animation at university breathes life into the once static form; a sequence of drawings, a computer mesh, an armature inside a stop-motion puppet, or even sand on a lightbox. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.

At Worcester, you can set your animated spirit free. Enjoy three years of specialist training and personal creative development, with a dedicated course for the independent animator, tailored to individual aims.

In addition to developing your capabilities as an animator, our animation course will enable you to develop a wide range of transferable skills, from research and critical thinking to problem-solving, to communication and negotiation.

You will find career opportunities not only in production but also in the games industry, television motion graphics, compositing, visual effects, and independent filmmaking.

Our graduates have gone on to be employed in Bristol (Aardman, Off The Fence), London (Salmagundi Films, ILM), Leeds (MADE television), and Edinburgh (Rockstar Games), as well as games and post-production companies in Europe.
