Kick start your career with the Flinders University & CDW Studios Bachelor of Creative Arts (Visual Effects and Entertainment Design) (BCA VEED). This three year degree features industry instructors, live demonstrations and one-on-one industry feedback with two internationally recognised and award-winning schools.

BCA VEED has four streams (like majors) of study (2D, 3D, VFX and Animation), which can be tailored to your interests. The Animation Stream includes core topics like Animation Bootcamp and Animation Pipeline as well as electives like Storyboarding and Character Design.

Every CDW Studios workshop is led by a world-class industry professional. These workshops include live demonstrations and are an opportunity to learn industry tips and tricks directly from those working in film and game industries. Students are encouraged to follow along as animators work through their creative process to stretch their skills. These animators also provide mentorship, support and guidance through your journey to becoming a professional digital artist.

We will equip you with skills you need to work effectively in animation pipelines. You’ll learn what it takes to excel in the field as an animator, roto, lighting or FX artist, rigger or compositor. On completion, you can also apply for the exclusive BCA VEED Honours program. This is an additional year of intensive study and mentorship to work on a personal project which can be pitched to studios.
