BU was recently recognised for its contribution to world–leading excellence and pioneering development in computer animation. The Queen’s Anniversary Prizes form part of the national honours system and are the most prestigious awards in UK education. This award celebrates the talent, commitment and knowledge of the University’s National Centre for Computer Animation (NCCA). For the past 22 years, the NCCA, based in BU’s Media School, has been at the forefront of computer animation education and research in the UK, consistently blending art and design with mathematical and computer science.
BU’s Animation team focuses on this distinctive learning approach which sets it apart from other institutions in the UK. Undergraduate and postgraduate degrees have produced award winning Alumni who have stamped their impact on the industry. Almost half of all graduates from visual effects (VFX) courses who gained employment in the VFX industry have graduated from BU.
