Overview

Throughout the Animation, Games and Interactivity program from the RMIT University, the students work alongside ACMI X, exhibit their work at the Melbourne International Animation Festival and have opportunities to collaborate with academic staff, industry practitioners and RMIT research centres.

You will develop your directorial vision as you learn concepts and techniques of narrative, visual and interactive media in a studio setting.

This degree builds on more than 20 years of RMIT’s success in postgraduate teaching and research, focusing on the advanced theoretical and practical aspects of professional production in animation, games and interactive media.

As you acquire skills in these areas, you will develop a directorial vision and in-depth understanding of narrative, visual and interactive media through studio projects and collaborations that focus on current global trends.

By the end of your studies, you will have completed a number of major studio works in your specialisation, as well as a substantial amount of research.
