Animation and VFX Degrees

• Animation alongside compositing and effects
• Digital environments, creatures and simulation
• Pipeline and team production
• Showreel preparation

This is a practical field: expect studio work, software use and collaborative projects. Software and equipment are recorded on each profile only where the school publishes them.

• Dedicated degree (0): The degree itself is in this field.
• Official pathway (8): An officially named concentration, pathway or major inside the degree.
• Broader degree with animation (14): A broader degree in which animation is a central, verified component of the official title or curriculum.

A single module is never counted as a pathway or as substantial curriculum. One program can appear under several specializations; it is still one listing.

Animation and VFX programs commonly ask for a portfolio of creative or technical work; some also ask for a showreel.

Requirements are recorded item by item on each program profile — required, optional, pathway-specific or explicitly not required. If a school does not publish its policy, we say so. Admissions and portfolio guide
