MA Animation (online) explores both the theory and practice of animation across a broad range of experimental visual media.

Course overview

As one of the fastest growing disciplines in the creative landscape, animation continues to expand across fields ranging from advertising and games to film and television.

MA Animation (online) will provide you with the latest knowledge and approaches to build your animation, design, and creative direction skills. Through a journey of experimentation, you’ll explore animation techniques and digital technologies to help you develop your own tone of voice, and have the support and freedom to specialise in your chosen direction.

You’ll also join an inclusive online community that promotes cultural and international connections between members who share your interest in animation.

Throughout your studies, you’ll engage in academic discussions, develop critical thinking skills, and communicate sophisticated concepts around political, ethical and social issues.

This course is ideal for graduates, animators, and artists who wish to gain additional knowledge relevant to their profession, and for those who prefer to study remotely. You might also be a professional wishing to change careers, or someone without much direct experience of animation practice who wants to learn more about the subject in one of the top universities in the field.
