About this course
Animation at UCA is built around a broad definition of the medium: any frame-by-frame manipulation of visual imagery. You'll learn techniques and tools across 2D, 3D, stop motion, and experimental approaches – always in service of the films and projects you're making. The tools support your ideas, but your ideas drive the work.

In students' own words
★★★★☆
Exceeded expectations
I was sceptical before starting — now I'd recommend it to anyone. The best part: the final show is a proper platform — industry people come to see it. If I'm honest, a few modules feel under-resourced compared to the flagship ones. On the c…
