The Academy is a unique collaboration between the University of Technology Sydney and one of Australia’s leading animation studios, Animal Logic. We’re looking for talented and passionate creative and technical students who want to specialise in specific areas of animation and visual effects production.

[Alex Weight, Creative Lead, talks to camera]:
The Animal Logic Academy at UTS is a master's degree in Animation and Visualisation. We focus on getting students up to speed to enter the industry, giving them real-world knowledge and what to do practically once they enter industry.
[Peter Tran, Previs/Layout Student, talks to camera]:
The one thing I've really enjoyed at the ALA is working through challenging problems as a group. We work just like a real production house. It's really fulfilling and rewarding to see the end result.
[Ildiko Izso, Art Department Student, talks to camera]:
We are allowed to try new things that we weren't even imagining before that we could be capable of doing. This environment is to develop those skills and to learn to work together in a team.
[Alex Weight, Creative Lead, talks to camera]:
It's a very exciting, creative process and unlike any other sort of degree out there.
