About the programme/course
In a community of film and television specialisations and strong professional focus training, Animation students gain two years of training in film and television production and they go on to do a two year specialisation programme in animation.
The course offers students options to work in traditional, digital animation or mixed media. The programme is structured to engage students in all aspects of animation production, from concept development to post production.
Our animation programme allows students to explore traditional African art and storytelling forms and how to develop this for animation. We provide resources to help students develop their art with strong African content.
