The Programme

The MA Animation programme is a project-based study and centred around the individual projects of the studens. Animation projects can be:

production of an animated short film
a concept for a longer animation format, e.g. a series or a feature film, including the production of a trailer
an explorative project or expanded animation project, e.g. a research project, or an installation using animation.

Mentoring by guest teachers and in-house lectureres and coaching are individual and growing parts of the programme. We specialise in storytelling and the development of individual and personal styles and stories, close to the animation scene and animation industry in Switzerland.

Further information about projects, courses and modules, lecturers and our teaching philosophy can be found on the MA Animation website.
