This course was previously titled ‘Bachelor of Digital Media (3D Design and Animation)’ with CRICOS code 090297K. The name has recently changed as part of Billy Blue at Torrens University Australia's continuous improvement process to more accurately describe the course content and industry outcomes that result from it.
You might have noticed they’re doing some fairly incredible things in the cartoon space these days, and you could join them! The first thing you’ll learn is not to call it ‘the cartoon space’. After that, you’ll be invited into a cartoon space of modelling, rigging, giant mallets, animation, texturing, dropping safes on people, lighting, composition and rolling your eyes at dusty old gags. In addition, you’ll be at the edge’s edge of what’s happening in VR / AR – which, between us, is so exciting you won’t be able to keep up your cool retro-mirrorshades attitude. We see you, Spike Spiegel. All that, and in your final year you can apply for an internship with a professional 3D design and animation studio, with the chance to work on live projects for a real-world client. Not a cartoon client. Design Institute Australia recognised course.

The Bachelor of 3D Design and Animation is designed to provide graduates with knowledge and skills in computer-based 3D modelling, rigging, animation, lighting and texturing suitable for a broad range of 3D design and animation-related sectors and employment opportunities. The Bachelor of 3D Design and Animation interweaves the acquisition of practical skills with the study of 3D design, underpinned by foundations of 3D modelling, animation and interactivity in the games industry, and the study of professional practice in 3D design and animation workplaces. The course design incorporates industry-informed briefs, industry mentors, client projects, internship opportunities and study of emerging areas of 3D design and animation practice. The Bachelor of 3D Design and Animation enables the combination of a well-rounded 3D design and animation generalist knowledge base with focused niche skills development in a 3D design and animation specialist area, leading either to graduate‐level employment in the 3D design sector or to further research-based enquiry or specialised design study at a post-graduate level. Design Institute Australia recognised course.
