Character & Creature Creation (Taught)

If you are serious about building a career in character and creature design, our MA Character and Creature Creation will give you the qualification, confidence, skills and connections to start applying for roles in the industry.

During this course, you will learn how to design, model, texture, rig and animate your own characters. You’ll learn hands-on character and creature design skills before applying them to two major projects based on industry briefs. One of those projects will be collaborative, so you get used to working as a group just like in a studio, the other will be individual to allow you to create and finesse more pieces for your portfolio.

At the end of the course, you’ll have earned a postgraduate qualification, have a showreel of character and creature creation work and a thorough understanding of the animation and VFX industry.

Led by our industry-trained tutors who’ve worked on credits including The Lion King, Godzilla and Doctor Strange, and with help from our Talent Development Team, Aftercare programme and industry guest speakers, you’ll build the skills and connections to kick-start your creative career.
