What is the best Uni in the UK to study Animation ? 2D and 3D Animation at same time


Hi IJ2000,

The BA (Hons) Animation course at Ravensbourne helps to build an understanding of the fundamental principles, practice and techniques of both 2D and 3D narrative based animation. We use a mix of practice and theory-based learning, including lectures, seminars, workshops, individual tutorials and self-directed study.

As a Ravensbourne animation student you will explore the medium using industry standard software and will produce an assessed portfolio of creative and professional work.

The course was last year ranked in the “Top 100 International Animation Schools" by Animation Career Review.

Moreover, it is recognised and accredited by Creative Skillset as providing exceptional standards of training in line with industry.

To give you an example of a recent student project, Ravensbourne students and the BBC collaborated in bringing a 'series of charming films about our historical relationship with the weather'.

I hope that this helps.

Do get in touch if you have further questions.

With best wishes,

Monica
I'm reapplying to study both 2D and 3D animation late this year as I couldn't any sooner due to illness. I'm thinking of applying to Portsmouth, Hertfordshire (as I've been told you can switch between 2D and 3D at the end of the first year), possibly NUA, BU and Ravensbourne (though it being in London does put me off!)
Definitely check out some of the places I've mentioned :^)

You can find the list of the best Animation courses in the UK on the Creative Skillset website:

You might also want to check the Rookies website for the best animation courses in the world http://www.therookies.co/schools/

Hertfordshire is currently the top rated UK university for animation and you can study 2D and 3D Animation at the same time in the first year, but you would have to make a decision about which of those to specialise in for the second year of study.

Check out the Rookies. They've got a 'Top 10 3D Animation Schools in Europe list'.

The UK ones in that Top 10 Europe list are Bournmouth Uni, Uni of South Wales, and Uni of Herfordshire.
