About this programme
A motion designer turns an idea into something that moves and holds attention - through animation, visual effects and pacing. This diploma builds that capability in order: design fundamentals first, then motion, then advanced effects and industry workflow.
Each semester runs four months and ends in reviewed project work. You finish with a portfolio, not a transcript.
