MA Animation

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MA 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time

Course Description

We have a long and illustrious history of animation education at UCA Farnham – all started by Henry’s Cat creator Bob Godfrey. Follow in the footsteps of the greats on our MA Animation degree.

During your time here, you’ll take an interdisciplinary approach to the animated form, and we’ll encourage you to experiment and speculate when you’re making your work.

This course attracts students from around the world and has a rich cultural mix. You will come to the programme as an established animator but will be encouraged to take risks, explore new techniques, develop your interests and exchange, debate and discuss ideas.

Along the way, you’ll be expected to produce original, high-quality and exciting films, and explore the wide range of creative possibilities of frame-by-frame filmmaking – all with the support of internationally renowned staff.

Entry Requirements

  • An honours degree or equivalent qualification in the subject or a related discipline

and/or

  • Relevant work experience, demonstrating your ability to study at postgraduate level.

Consideration will also be given to applicants who can make a strong case for admission in relation to a particular project and can demonstrate their potential to satisfactorily complete the course.

MA Animation is designed for candidates with previous animation experience. Our course encourages you to refine your practice, rather than introduce you to the principles of animation. If animation is new to you, we’d suggest enrolling on the Graduate Diploma in Art & Design before undertaking our MA programme.
