Bachelor of Animation

The tuition fee is 60,300 AED per year.

The Bachelor of Animation at Sae University College in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is a bachelor-level program in the field of animation. Animation as a discipline is concerned with creating the illusion of movement through drawn, digital, or three-dimensional techniques, and spans storytelling, character design, storyboarding, rigging, and the software used to animate and render a finished piece. Students typically study the core principles of animation, such as timing, spacing, and weight, alongside drawing and design fundamentals, digital and three-dimensional animation software, and production workflow. A bachelor-level curriculum generally builds from foundational technique toward more advanced, self-directed animated projects, giving students room to develop a personal style within a chosen area such as character animation or visual effects. Students commonly complete a portfolio of animated shorts or sequences, culminating in a capstone project. Graduates of animation programs typically pursue roles such as animator, character designer, storyboard artist, or visual effects artist, working within animation studios, game developers, advertising agencies, or media production companies. The program is delivered in English and is accredited by the UAE Commission for Academic Accreditation. Based in Dubai, students study within reach of a growing regional animation, media, and entertainment sector, with studios and companies across the Gulf offering internship and career opportunities. Animation work demands both artistic sensibility and technical discipline, so students are expected to develop drawing and design skills alongside fluency in the software used across the industry. Collaborative production is a regular feature of animation study, mirroring how animated films and series are typically produced by teams of specialists working across story, design, and technical stages of production.
