Internationally-recognised and government-accredited animation and visual arts institution, The animation School has announced the introduction of a Johannesburg campus, located at 181 Jan Smuts Avenue, Rosebank.<\/p>\n
The Animation School has opened applications to students for both its Cape Town and new Johannesburg campuses.<\/p>\n
“Realising that there was a significant gap in animation training in the country, we launched the Cape Town campus in 2000 and today we are recognised as a leading global institution,” said cofounder and principal of The Animation School, Nuno Martins. “The move to open the Johannesburg campus is in response to significant student demand. We are one of the only formally-accredited animation and visual effects training centres in Africa.”<\/p>\n
The Animation School issues its graduates with a Diploma in Animation and Visual Effects, governed by an industry-wide education body.<\/p>\n
The Johannesburg campus will commence operations in January 2014. Although the facility is expected to offer a three year undergraduate Diploma in Animation, post graduate studies will be included as the Johannesburg site expands.<\/p>\n
