Course description
BA (Hons) / MArt The Art of Motion Graphics (Integrated Masters)*
Motion Graphics combines a variety of 2D and 3D elements, as well as live action to create dynamic, colourful visuals, infographics, special sequences for films, video game animations, film titles and promos across a variety of mediums.
The in-demand role of Motion Graphics Designer has never been so varied or exciting, a craft that allows you to work across a range of creative industries, such as graphic design, advertising, animation, broadcasting, multimedia, games or film.
This degree has been created with our industry partners to be a highly focused digital course that encompasses not only theory but technical and artistic approaches.
This course will provide rich and varied opportunities to work on collaborative projects, developing the soft and technical skills that companies look for in Motion Graphics Designers. You'll develop and refine your skills with individual projects, as well as working alongside our other undergraduate programmes on joint projects.
By the time you graduate, you'll be able to design motion graphics from concept to implementation, developing design, animation, typography and user experiences to produce engaging experiences.
Additionally, you will have the transferable skills to work and support teams in both technical and artistic capacities across different real-time and interactive production environments.
Taught by industry professionals, we have a high level of industry project mentoring throughout our courses, connecting our students to current development practice. This coupled with our studio-based practice and high spec equipment will give students the best foundation to become Motion Graphics Designers and Animators.
