Connect with industry
One of the benefits of studying our Bachelor of Creative Production in Animation is the link to UTS’s existing industry connections that help give students that competitive advantage. Our students have worked with live projects and active partners, such as ABC Podcasts, VIVID, the Australia Piano Quartet, and other collaborations with international universities at the Annecy MIFA campus etc.
UTS also has long-standing relationships with Sydney's local animation studios such as Flying Bark Productions, Mighty Nice, Cheeky Little Media, Dave Enterprises, and Animal Logic which offer students multiple opportunities to engage in practice while studying.
UTS’ Animation is a member of the International Association of Film and Television Schools (CILECT), the first university in NSW to claim this honour.
“Drawing has been my passion since childhood, and I’ve always dreamed of turning it into a career – one where I could share my ideas with the world. Late 2024, I felt it was time for another transformation – bringing my drawings to life through animation. That’s why I decided to study animation at UTS, to take the next important step in my creative journey.”
