Animation Course Outline   On completion of the Diploma in Animation Production, graduates will have competence in all the essential skills involved with animation production as well as overall animation business skills. This will enable them to obtain work independently as professional artists and animators or obtain trainee work positions with animation studios or production companies.  The qualification will enable international graduates to directly enter the workforce or lead to further animation study at degree level. Course Design   Course design is based on an extensive series of practical animation exercises starting with basic training exercises.  These industry related practical exercises increase in scope and complexity throughout the course until in the final term, participants complete production on a complex animation assignment, demanding a professional level of competence in both creative and technical aspects. Apart from practical exercises the course also has lectures, demonstrations and workshops by industry experienced staff, tutors and industry guest tutors as well as research and self directed learning exercises to achieve the stated course objectives and outcomes.
