In the field of computer animation there is a world of professional opportunities.
In the world of audiovisual production, the demand for digital animation and visual effects professionals is very high.

Young designers must use their theoretical knowledge to develop content (conceptual study and psychological analysis, history of cinema, analysis and writing for film, deep understanding of the process of animation, historical and cultural references) and their hands-on technical abilities to design and create their own animated products (storyboarding, creating animated sequencing, 2D compositing and 3D software utilization).

The course also includes learning how to manage and produce an entire creative project (design, content, script, production plan, teamwork and deadline management).

Studying and producing to prepare for the future.
The MA in Computer Animation and Visual Effects produces concrete results: the digital clips and the original productions created by students are sent to festivals and entered into competitions. They will also be included in the student’s digital portfolio, which they will present to future employers.
