You’ll be in the studio creating from day one on our Animation Foundation Entry Degree, developing the practical skills and technical expertise needed to create your own film. Read less Foundation Entry degree courses are designed for students who have the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly enter their chosen Honours degree programme. You’ll create animated characters and narratives that not only capture imaginations but also have an awareness of social and cultural influences on animation. This distinctive course is rooted in creative thinking and self-expression accompanied by a good technical knowledge of current industry practices, including script writing, character design, storyboarding, animating, editing and sound design. Take part in the University’s annual Games Design and Animation Virtual Degree Show. You'll showcase your talents in the final year through Degree Show projects.
