Program Overview
The Bachelor of Art and Design focuses on the technical and soft skills that you’ll need in the post-production side of the film industry. Specialise in the visual effects subject matter areas of compositing, modelling and technical studies or 3D animation and, in your final year, you’ll be working on an industry-level production using contemporary visual effects techniques in order to create an amazing, state-of-the-art short film.
Why choose a Bachelor of Art and Design?
Imagine living in a country with a local studio that worked on Lord of the Rings and not studying how to make films. Explosions, scenery and strange creatures are integral to a great blockbuster, which is where you, dear animator, will be able to steal the show. Our industry-trained faculty will help you develop your skills on an immersive level where you will master modelling, rendering, lighting, and technical direction. In 2023 we were ranked by Animation Career review as the #1 Animation College in New Zealand. Check out some of internationally recognised short films, animated by our students that have snatched professional awards away from big-budget short films. Don’t just talk the talk, we’ll let you walk it.
