Postgraduate Courses in Computer Animation

The UK is a world leader in computer animation courses and companies. Prof John Vince of the National Centre for Computer Animation at Bournemouth University tells you what you need to know.

Today, the world of computer animation has become a sophisticated discipline supported by exotic software and real-time workstations. A world dominated by young, talented computer animators, who are completely at home building virtual worlds and animating impossible scenarios. No one would dare claim that computer animation has settled down as a stable industry; it is still exploding in all directions creating new opportunities for industry and opening up amazing career opportunities. A postgraduate course in computer animation can enhance your employment prospects and further your career opportunities.
