About this program

The Bachelor of Animation Production at the University of Technology Sydney is a three-year programme that immerses students in the creative and technical aspects of animation for film, television, games and digital platforms. Through a blend of practical studio work and theoretical learning, students gain hands-on experience in traditional animation, 3D digital techniques, visual storytelling, character design, storyboarding, and post-production processes.

Australian bachelor degrees typically comprise structured progression through core and elective units of study, each contributing to the total credit points required for graduation. At UTS, students undertake a sequence of animation-specific units and have the opportunity to collaborate on intensive studio projects. The course culminates in a capstone project, where students develop a major creative work showcasing their individual vision and technical mastery. Work-integrated learning and industry engagement are integral, with opportunities to connect with Sydney’s vibrant animation and film sectors through placements or collaborative projects.

Throughout the programme, students develop a comprehensive portfolio of work while building software proficiency, creative problem-solving abilities, and collaborative production skills sought after in the Australian animation industry. The course suits aspiring animators, visual storytellers, graduates from creative arts backgrounds, or anyone passionate about bringing ideas to life through animation and digital media.
