An Animation major allows students to combine theory and practice in studying animation across a diverse range of applications. Courses are offered in drawing, design, 2D and 3D animation, scriptwriting, visual effects and advanced animation techniques. Students have the opportunity to specialise within these areas. The course provides opportunities for developing creative expression, vocational skills within the animation and related industries, and critical understanding and appreciation of the media. It trains students to think critically, to work collaboratively, to use new technologies and to develop a portfolio of their own work.
