Teaching methods

"I highly recommend The Animation Workshop and its values. It provides you with great tools to be creative"

Anders, Character Animation student
The individual as the centre
The Bachelor programme offers an education founded on a philosophy of student self-awareness and acknowledgement of personal strengths, weaknesses, and career goals. The student is first and foremost an individual on a life path, not merely an anonymous student fulfilling the requirements of a system.

Following their education, many of our students will become our colleagues in years to come; towards that end, we encourage strong relationship building and mutual respect among our faculty, staff, and students even when perspectives differ.

Learning styles
The programme introduces students to the Multiple Intelligences Theory of Dr. Howard Gardner, coupled with an exploration of the concept of learning styles. These theoretical perspectives help put students at ease as they grasp the varieties of learning possibilities that exist and as they position themselves within that continuum based on their own learning preferences. Bachelor students gain insight into their learning processes and, by extension, become better acquainted with themselves.

The approach builds self-confidence and allows students to optimize their own learning potential, helping them move from where they are to where they want to be, ultimately growing into who they want to become both personally as well as professionally.

We expect our students to take responsibility for their education and engage their own potential, and these theoretical underpinnings help them achieve exactly that.

Team spirit
The programme underlines the importance of professionalism and constructive critique in the educational setting. These skills are particularly essential for the team environment that characterizes most productions in the professional workplace.

Effective communication, flexibility, an open-minded approach to creation and collaboration, and a commitment to lifelong learning are all indispensable concepts for the working life in the animation industry.
