Program description - January 2026

Our two-year Animation diploma program provides comprehensive preparation for a career in 2D digital animation, focusing on the field's artistic and technical aspects.

Students will develop essential skills in figure drawing, storyboarding, character design, and 2D character animation throughout four levels of education. The program begins with foundational courses in visual storytelling and digital tools, gradually introducing more advanced animation techniques, such as character rigging, advanced figure drawing, and digital painting.

In the second year, students will focus on pre-production for their capstone project and build professional portfolios that prepare them to enter the animation industry.

With a strong emphasis on practical skills, creative development, and industry readiness, this program equips graduates with the tools necessary to pursue successful careers in 2D animation.
