Overview

Animation programme at Kingston University puts an emphasis on independent and self-directed learning where students are given autonomy to develop a practice that supports their aspirations and ambitions. Skills in critical reflection and analysis provide you with the tools necessary to make decisions about you practice and learning trajectory. Students are provided with the opportunity to initiate, propose, and realise an Extended Research Project (Capstone Project), typically a film, that is ambitious in scale and scope.

Studio modules include development of animation skills, concepts and practice through project work and utilise the studio as a site for making. Reading modules focus on critical and contextual theory or issues and positioning practice critically.

Career:

You’ll complete this course with a refined set of animation knowledge and skills – ready to achieve big things in the global animation industry.

Our graduates have gone on to direct animation, motion graphics, adverts, pop promos and instructional educational films. Some have even become directors and showrunners on shows for Netflix and Cartoon Network, Aardman, Nexus, Buck in New York and LA.
