Animation today moves fluidly between film, series, games, interactive formats and emerging digital spaces. Our updated programme reflects this reality and prepares you to work professionally in an industry shaped by rapid technological development, global collaboration and new production methods.
The programme has been redesigned in line with the Danish national reform of professional bachelor programs. For you as a future student, this means stronger links to industry practice and clearer progression throughout your studies, so when you graduate, you are not only creatively confident, but professionally ready.
The education is being changed from 3½ years to 3 years and 3 months starting with the 2026 intake. The updated program is structured to strengthen core animation competencies while ensuring a close connection between artistic development, technical skills, and professional practice. The overall study structure creates stronger coherence between courses and projects and prioritizes the competences most relevant to the contemporary animation industry.
Practice-based learning is central to the programme’s identity and has been further strengthened in line with the national reform’s emphasis on professional relevance. Your internship is closely integrated with your academic learning, ensuring that your experience in a studio or company becomes an active and meaningful part of your development.
Through collaboration with industry partners, professional feedback from guest teachers and authentic production tasks and learning environments, you gain insight into workplace expectations and build networks that support your transition into employment.
