Why choose Animation at HKU?
At HKU you learn to create short animations independently, but you also do a lot of work as part of a group. In the 3D programme (the only animation course in the Netherlands offering this specialisation), collaboration is essential. You’ll learn about the industry and work with various external clients. In the second year, you’ll make films for the BNN-VARA television programme ‘Twee voor Twaalf’. And each year, your work has a chance of being screened in the Lowlands film programme, the student competition of the Netherlands Film Festival, or animation festivals such as Playgrounds and Kaboom.
