Animation film in Genk

Academic Bachelor

Our degree welcomes international students who wish to develop professional all round level skills in Animation. We provide an energetic team of lecturers (industry professionals) who maintain warm and personal contact with students.
By means of intensive individual coaching, we encourage our students to explore their interests and to become an innovator in the style(s) that match their abilities.

We offer a mix of courses mostly lectured in English and especially atelier work which is guided in English. Exchange is only possible in the Autumn Semester.

Curriculum

In the first year we provide a strong basis in the most important animation film techniques (2D, 3D, stop motion), and skills (screenwriting, storyboarding, animation, sound design, postproduction, ...). During later years we expect our students to become researchers, who pursue a personal trajectory within a chosen style, and who are able to express their view on society and the world.

You work with both traditional crafts and advanced technologies, and you are encouraged to experiment, explore boundaries and acquire new skills.
Students also have access to all workshops across the different LUCA campuses.

What do you need?

A good understanding of English (level B2) is required to make the most of your stay with us.

Our campus does not own student accommodation. Therefore, you will have to rent a room on the private housing market for the duration of your stay. To help you in your search, please contact our student support services.

Or snoop around on this webplatform (KotatLimburg).
We always ask our own outgoing LUCA students if they wish to swop their student room with you for the Semester. Our International Officer Jan Louis can tell you more about that.

Kwaliteit is de drijfveer van LUCA

Als de grondhouding van het beleidsplan inhoudt dat ‘kwaliteit onze drijfveer’ is, en dat elk aspect van het beleid hieraan kan worden getoetst, dan wil LUCA ontegensprekelijk een sterke kwaliteitscultuur uitbouwen en voeden: een cultuur die vertrekt vanuit vertrouwen in mensen met talent en expertise, en die gericht is op waarderen, inspireren en verbeteren.

Het formele kwaliteitskader voor opleidingen binnen LUCA kreeg de naam KOPERA wat staat voor: Kritisch de Kwaliteit van Opleidingen met Peers in Eigen Regie Analyseren.
LUCA vertrekt voor KOPERA vanuit een visie op kwaliteitszorg die vertrekt vanuit vertrouwen en gericht is op waarderen, inspireren en verbeteren.

Tijdens de zesjarige KOPERA-cyclus ontvangt elke opleiding een panel van kritische vrienden die de invulling van de kwaliteitskenmerken nagaan en bekijken hoe de opleiding bijdraagt tot het algemene LUCA-beleid.
Het sluitstuk van KOPERA is de uiteindelijke borging van de opleidingskwaliteit. De kernvraag daarbij luidt: "heeft de opleiding een goede kwaliteitscultuur die de ‘plan-do-check-act’-cirkel volgt?"

Van elke opleiding publiceert LUCA een kwaliteitsfiche. Je kan deze terugvinden op de pagina 'Kwaliteitszorg'.
