Bachelor of Arts in Motion Design and Animation

Course Overview


The Bachelor of Arts in Motion Design and Animation teaches all predominant aspects of animation. Ranging from digital 3D and 2D animation skills to tradigital animation practices, motion- graphics, VFX and stop-motion.

Though animation functions within a primarily digital environment these days, within the BA programme there is a strong focus on developing traditional skills such as drawing, painting and sculpture, to support original thinking and creative problem-solving.

Skills that are directly transferrable to the digital realm, since a greater understanding of aesthetics within the world of animation will lead to a more adaptable animator. All of which can be applied to a character, asset creation, story, or any of the processes of production for animation development.

Theory modules include the history of art, history of animated media, media studies and academic research skills. The final year of study includes a practical project that forms the centerpiece of the student’s portfolio.
