Animation is pure imagination. Few industries allow you to mix art and technology to create what has never been seen before. Animation is also a profession where technical expertise and application is as important as raw talent, and this is where SAE comes in.

Our Bachelor degree is all about building your character and credentials by giving you hands-on experience in a broad range of topics related to the animation and computer graphics industries, such as character animation (2D/3D), visual storytelling, 3D modelling, computer graphics, visual effects and motion graphics
