Course summary

Edinburgh College of Art’s (ECA) Animation programme is Scotland’s oldest established degree-level programme in the subject area. Studying animation at ECA gives you the opportunity to experience a wide range of animation methods, technologies, and theories.Our students’ distinct voices and visual styles are at the centre of our teaching. We work with you to help you figure out who you are as an animator and what your films will look like. There is no template you must fit!We are one of the first UK animation programmes to become partners in the Aardman Academy, helping to ensure the industry relevance of our students and our curriculum.Our partnership with Scotland Loves Anime has allowed us to host the annual Education in Animation Day where our students have met directors, producers, and animators from some of the largest and busiest Japanese and Chinese studios, occasionally enabling their first appearances in the UK.If you find beauty in small things, love telling stories, and are fixated upon movement then we think you will enjoy your time here.


Programme benefits

You will have the opportunity to work both as part of a team of animators and take creative control of solo projects. You will have access to an exceptional range of equipment, from classical drawn animation (using lightboxes gifted from the studios of The Illusionist), real cameras, lights and puppets through to a Render farm using Pixar’s Renderman software. You will learn about every part of the Animation production pipeline. You will benefit from a thriving studio environment that offers continuous use of space and interaction with other year groups. You will find fantastic opportunities to work with students from other areas of the University, particularly the Reid School of Music and ECA’s Film & TV students.
