Course Structure and Content

The development of computer animation has, in recent years, encompassed great improvements in quality, particularly in the area of character animation. There is a growing demand for graduates with strong skills in this field. This course offers a comprehensive program of study in computer animation, from fundamental traditional skills to the current state of the art techniques.

The first year includes modules in animation skills, film studies and animation history, drawing and design and professional issues. The second and final years include modules on 2D and 3D character animation, advanced character animation, scriptwriting and professional studio practice. Students will undertake a major project in their final year.

Graduates would be ideally suited to careers in film and television, the multimedia and games industries, advertising and visualisation.

Students may choose to spend a year in industry after their second year or opt to continue immediately with their final year options.

Course Structure and Content

Full time undergraduate degrees are taught over three years at the university, plus perhaps, a "sandwich" year in industry after the second year.

These are the modules you could expect to study on this course. The modules you can choose in your Second and Final years will depend on those you have studied in preceeding years. Also, some second and final year modules may be changed or restructured in order to keep the course up to date with latest trends in the industry.
