Animation

Animation department

The Department of Animation was established at the Estonian Academy of Arts in 2006 and since 2007 it has offered a two-year MA in Animation (taught in English) curriculum. The main goal of the programme is to successfully educate creators of animated films, providing them with theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The further aim is to contribute to the global development of animation as an art form.

MA Programme

The MA animation programme focuses on helping students realize themselves as animated film authors. As our master students come from very different parts of the world and have different educational backgrounds we try to encourage their individual approach to filmmaking. The films vary from narrative to more experimental. Upon completion of the MA in Animation programme, students have acquired in-depth theoretical and practical animation knowledge and skills. After graduation, our students are qualified to realise themselves as animated film creators, professionals in creative industries or teachers in their field. Students who have completed the master’s programme are also qualified to continue their studies and pursue a doctoral degree.

EKA animation department also provides a BA programme (Estonian language B2 level required.)
