Animation is a broad creative subject that offers opportunities to all kinds of creatives, including storytellers, designers, artists, technologists and performers. It reaches audiences young and old right across the globe. It educates, entertains and informs. It shows us things we could never see with our own eyes buildings not yet built, the workings of a heart, a dying star. It can help us visualise the dynamics of an unfolding news event, place long-extinct creatures into your very hands, and breathe life into those that have never existed. This practice-based production degree not only develops your creative flair but also provides you with highly sought-after technical skills. BA(Hons) Animation is based at Bower Ashton Studios, part of our City Campus. Our new animation studio spaces and facilities include digital media studios, production studios and fabrication workshops, offering both traditional tools and the latest technology.
