Recognised as one of the largest media hubs in Europe, Manchester is a vibrant city with a wealth of opportunities to connect with the animation sector. Through the course you will learn cutting-edge computer animation and the underlying principles of motion, performance and expression.

Special Features

  • From the very start you will be working with professional animators and studios through live briefs and projects.
  • The course is based within the Department of Media at Manchester School of Art, and the art school ethos will push you to innovate and become a highly creative professional.
  • You will have the opportunity to take part in Unit X, an innovative unit offered to students across Manchester School of Art that encourages interdisciplinary study and collaboration on an external-facing project.
  • Professional animation production is a big team effort (just look at the credits at the end of a movie), so as well as learning the specialised individual skills required for animation, you will work closely with your classmates and students from other courses, developing important teamwork skills demanded by employers. The course is designed to allow you to specialise, if you so wish, in one specialist area of the animation process allowing you to collaborate with others refining your individual artistry.
