Animation today moves fluidly between film, series, games, interactive formats and emerging digital spaces. Our updated programme reflects this reality and prepares students to work professionally in an industry shaped by rapid technological development, global collaboration and new production methods.

The programme will be changed from 3½ years to 3 years and 3 months starting with the 2026 intake. The updated programme 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 prioritises 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. Internships are closely integrated with your academic learning, ensuring that your experience in a studio or company becomes an active and meaningful part of student development.
