Animation degrees at UCA

On the Animation degree at UCA you'll learn techniques and tools across 2D, 3D, stop motion, and experimental approaches that can be applied to your ideas as you bring them to life.

As is a specialist creative arts university, you'll have access to resources many animation students don’t including printmaking, ceramics, glass, woodworking, and metalwork studios, all staffed by specialist technicians. 

Many UCA students have had their work selected for international film festivals, which is where you'll find studios searching for new talent. You'll learn how to submit, contextualise and present your work professionally to build your visibility and industry connections well before you graduate.
