This course is aimed at animators seeking to challenge their work and to engage with new opportunities presented by developments in technology and the expansion of the commercial possibilities for creatives operating in this field.

The course encourages animators who can break with convention and explore every opportunity that digital technology and the changing marketplace offers. It seeks to create animators who think about distribution platforms and markets at the point of conceptualisation.

At the cutting edge, the course embraces new technologies and explores the aesthetic and artistic issues that arise from them. You will have the opportunity to interrogate your practice from a range of perspectives and standpoints, open it up to new cultures and influences, and redefine your creative style.

The course has a unique teaching and learning framework, providing you with the creative opportunity to develop a singular vision as an animator as well as embrace the multi-disciplinary perspectives and opportunities for collaboration which arise from the course’s location within a broader group of creative postgraduate courses.
