Course description

The postgraduate programme 3D Animation for Film & Games is aimed at media professionals from the fields Film, Games, Media Design, Architecture and so on who want to expand their skill set in 3D animation and to explore the intersection between film and games that opened up due to technological innovation. In addition to a successful Bachelor’s degree or comparable academic degree, admission to the programme requires at least twelve months of practical experience in a relevant field. The Master’s programme thus gains its specific profile in the targeted interweaving of scholarship, art and craft, tradition and innovation, practice and future orientation. The programme is strongly project-oriented and offers a highly international and interdisciplinary environment where students receive guidance in the development of numerous 3D animation projects as well as the theoretical foundations necessary for a critical approach to the design and research of animated projects.
