Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Animation with Foundation Year

Program Overview

Study animation at UEL and learn from award winning specialist tutors and animators working in industry.

On our student centred course, you learn your craft in practical teaching sessions, learning to use both core artistic skills and state of the art technology to tell your own stories.

You are encouraged to develop originality, beginning with the traditional foundations of animation and ending with a fully realised graduation film, using your own choice of specialism in 2D, 3D or Stop-Motion animation.

Tutors working in industry help you to prepare for your creative working life after graduation, so that your three years with us is the beginning of a life-long career doing something you love.

You can also take this course with a foundation year (FY), which means you it will take you four years to complete the course full-time, and eight years to complete the course part-time.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

Studying animation at UEL you'll develop your skills, starting with core animation techniques, building into your own unique way of working. You'll learn to tell original stories that hold your audience like no other medium can.

In practical workshops you'll learn both traditional skills and digital practice, beginning with core skills that will always set you apart from others who haven't studied at this level.

You will have the opportunity to develop your traditional skills in life-drawing, 2D drawn animation, stop-motion model animation plus more unusual alternative strategies like paint-on-glass, cut-out paper and sand on glass animation and new hybrid technologies like 3D printing and laser cutting.

You'll learn to combine these analogue craft skills with digital skills, like digital 2D and 3D animation techniques including Adobe Photoshop, Animate and After Effects, Maya and TV Paint, and become comfortable using graphics tablets to draw digitally.

Alongside this you will learn how to tell your own stories through animation, designing characters and environments, searching and researching, structuring and producing animated stories that will captivate, inspire, educate and entertain.

You'll learn put all these skills together in an original way that will make you a unique voice in your chosen field.
