Study Details: 1 Year Full-time 2 Years Part-time
This course gives practitioners a year to create an animated film, technical showreel or other animation-related outcomes from start to finish. You will engage in a critical dialogue that integrates practice, theory and the professional aspects of animation.
The course provides space for animators to produce work of cultural value and explore their practice across creative, commercial and industry-based contexts. The curriculum is designed to allow both individual and collaborative practice to take place. However, we positively encourage collaboration as it is a key part of the animation production process, enabling you to undertake ambitious projects.
The course will provide you with the space to develop your understanding and knowledge in relation to animation practices, to question what the medium of animation has the potential to be, and how it communicates to an audience. You will also have the opportunity to explore emerging technologies and new approaches to storytelling such as the use of VR and real-time technologies.
You will be supported by a team with diverse research and practical interests within the field of animation and you will engage with visiting industry professionals. The course will present you with the opportunities to work with other creatives on the programme and across other MA courses within the institution. The objective is to enable students to produce engaging work across all forms of animation from animated shorts to documentary and experimental practices.
