Creative Arts (Animation), Bachelor

This degree allows you to learn the various creative aspects and techniques involved in animated filmmaking, visual effects, emerging digital mediums including immersive media, and games by providing a solid grounding in the fundamental practices, theory, techniques and art of animation. The course progresses from generalised to more specific allowing you to explore the broad areas and latest techniques involved in animated filmmaking and then develop a more advanced specialisation in your area of interest.  You will be encouraged to experiment with a range of animation styles, techniques and technologies while producing your own animations, graphics and visual effects. Studies in industry workflows, tools, process and skills will equip you with a strong understanding of current industry practices—from concept development to timelines and finished works. Your studies will also include CGI production in preparation for final-year projects and work integrated learning opportunities.  The new QUT Creative Arts degree helps you to curate your own career, with its built-in flexibility providing you with multiple opportunities to extend and expand your creative practice.  Tailor your animation degree for your future with a second major or a combination of other creative field majors, minors and course units across multiple subjects.
