The MA Animation programme is built around three core pillars: developing independent perspectives, discovering a distinctive artistic voice and creative method, and cultivating a responsible designer mindset in animation.
The course places a strong emphasis on content development, rooted in the conviction that those who can conceive compelling ideas will always find their place in the world of art and animation, whether they work in film, video game design, or immersive VR production.
Our curriculum is carefully structured to nurture and support each student's unique creative interests across these diverse fields. Students engage with a broad range of film-related disciplines, including worldbuilding, scriptwriting, cinematography, set design, editing, and sound design.
While grounded in cinematic principles, these modules also create space for experimentation, encouraging exploration of non-narrative and fine art–led approaches.
Throughout, the focus is on developing high-concept ideas with the potential to grow into ambitious, large-scale projects in the future. MOME provides professional crews to support the development and production of diploma films through a range of grants.
After graduation, MOME manages the festival run of our alumni’s films from handling submissions to distribution and promotion, helping them gain international visibility.
Graduates can also join international training programmes to build and grow their professional network, find potential co-production partners, and break into the international scene.
For our English-language MA programmes, the entry requirement is an accredited undergraduate academic degree (BAhons, BSc, BA) and a furnishing proof of at least B2, preferably higher level of English language proficiency or fluent English skills.
