Online MA in Animation - Our First Graduates!

Graduation Day at Bucks

Graduation Day takes place at Bucks on 6th September, and we are especially proud to welcome our new MAs in Animation.

Of course, the event is something of a formality - no-one actually has to turn up, but we hope that many of our online animation students will come and celebrate their achievement - graduating as Masters of Arts on the world's first online MA in Animation.

In a small way, everyone there will be making a little piece of animation history.

What happens on Graduation Day?
For those who do attend, they get a glass of wine and some nibbles, a piece of paper, and the chance to hear a (hopefully) inspiring speech from someone who has graduated from the university, made it the world, and earned their right to pass on their wisdom.

Who is graduating?
Graduating this year is our very first animation cohort. I'm proud to say that everyone made it to the finishing line, and everyone passed. Many congratulations to Stephen Young, Neil Whitman, Sydney Padua, Alexi Balian, Tim Millson, Wallace Kariuki, Priyanka Chitnis, and Charlie "Dutch" Falconi.

You are our first graduates, and all now have the right to add the letters "MA" after your names. Well done to you all. 

Many others will follow in your footsteps, you will always be the first.
