Studying animation abroad

An animation degree offers international students the opportunity to explore both traditional and cutting-edge animation techniques, equipping them with the skills to create visual media for films and television.

Animation is a creative arts discipline that has been around for many years. The techniques have come a long way since the inception of animation, although traditional animation is still practised. As an animator, you could have opportunities to work on films, television programmes, music videos and other visual media forms. You will work alongside other animation artists to create projects from start to finish.

During an Animation degree, you will cover the basics of animation, as well as looking at the specifics of the computer programs needed to be an animator. Some examples of modules you could study are:

  • Introduction to Animation
  • Visual Effects (VFX)
  • Pre-production and Visual Development
  • 3D Computer Animation
  • Applied 2D Animation

During a masters in Animation, you will be able to build on the knowledge and skills you gained at undergraduate level, further preparing you for a career in animation. Some examples of modules you might study include:

  • Sequence and Narrative
  • Enterprise in Animation
  • Ideas, Design and Story
