Syllabus format

It is an online education process. Each student has full access to a personal account in which he or she can go over lecture material, interact with fellow students and lecturers, as well as publish completed work accordingly.

• Lecture materials will be posted in the student’s personal account. Having listened to the lecture, the student must start performing a set task, which will become a subject of further collaboration with the lecturer.
• The task is completed in a graphic program Toom Boom Harmony, TvPaint or Blender and is posted in your personal account for the lecturer’s perusal, checking, and reviewing.
• Online meetings in the “QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS” format with the lecturer are regularly held at least once per month and, if necessary – the additional meetings may be scheduled at the lecturer’s discretion.

Course of study duration

The education program continues for over 3 years. The course of study duration may vary depending on your abilities and the time allotted for the specific subject of study.
