Program Description

The BA Animation at Coventry University is for storytellers and artists who want to bring life to their creations through the application of movement.

• For an artist who feels driven towards character-based narrative, nowhere is this more refined than in animation. By the end of the course, our aim is that you will be confident to engage with the industry across the diverse roles associated within the subject area.
• Our graduates will be expected to work as 3D animators, 2D animators, riggers, modellers, character designers, environment artists, story boarders, animation directors, writers and comic artists. 
• The course cultivates a form of teaching where students experiment, exercise and practise. Our students explore, experiment and design with both analogue (drawing and primary visual research) and digital technologies and generate outcomes in 3D and 2D. 
• The Animation team fosters inclusivity in character development and narrative, drawing upon the traditions of cultures from around the globe, both contemporary, historical and mythological, with considerations of race, age, gender, disability and variety of body type.

Graduates are expected to work as animators, graphic novel artists, environment artists and storyboard artists as well as pursuing careers in teaching and study at postgraduate level. Many graduates return to share their experiences and advice as visiting lecturers and continue to support the next generation of Animation students.
