Overview

Honours Bachelor of Animation

In Sheridan's Animation degree program, you’ll learn from industry professionals using the same techniques and tools you'll eventually need in the workplace. 

Using state-of-the-art software and hardware, you’ll create your own stories, designs, characters and layouts and produce your films.

Sheridan’s animation program emphasizes classical animation principles in various forms, including 2D digital, 3D and stop motion. 

You’ll learn the art of storyboarding and hone your life drawing, layout and digital painting skills. 

Working collaboratively or individually on productions, you’ll have the opportunity to explore all aspects of animation filmmaking.

After Year 3, you’ll gain professional experience during a three-month work placement. 

And at the annual Industry Day, employers will fly in from across North America to meet you, see your work and conduct interviews.

Students come from all over the world to study animation at Sheridan. 

That’s because the Animation program has such a strong reputation. 

Michael Hirsh, co-founder of Nelvana, refers to Sheridan as the “Harvard of Animation.”
