Animation

This MA in Animation programme is a broad and imaginatively inclusive offering featuring four distinct study pathways. The pathways include Practice-based; Practice-led; Scholarly; and Animation Teaching options.

Who can apply? Students with a Level 8 qualification or RPL (to include completed postgraduate study in related Art and Design areas or postgraduate experience working in the animation industry). We also envisage learners coming from other discipline areas, with a strong interest in relating their expertise to animation-related practice. International Students We welcome international students to IADT. To learn how to apply as an International student please see " International Students" below. Portfolio: Yes. What should my portfolio include? Applicants need to present an animation-related project proposal. This can be an animated film project, an animation project with a research or scholarly component, a proposal to attempt a piece of animation-related scholarly research or writing or a proposal to investigate a specific aspect of animation teaching and learning. We suggest that applicants should submit, at this early stage, three very short proposal ideas (can be up to one page each, can include images or video/animation links). Applicants must understand that any project proposal (even seemingly highly developed proposals) will be subject to modification and change as they develop through the Masters in Animation application and learning processes. Any animation-related project proposals should attempt to focus clearly on two central questions:

• What I am proposing to do through my Masters in Animation project?
• What I hope to learn through my Masters in Animation project? Applicants will also present a portfolio of art or animation work, relevant showreel, film or animation-related work, scholarly work, digital or web-based work or other relevant work. Any work submitted as part of the application process, whether creative or scholarly (film, art, or text-based), should support the specific project proposals of the applicant. Any presented work will be assessed by the programme team as part of the application or RPL process. The DL931 Masters in Animation lecturing team may choose to interview applicants (online). The programme has agreed to start no more than 12 Masters in Animation students per annum.
