From animated films to adverts and games to tv, there is a huge range of scope for newly qualified animators to show off what they have to offer. 

In some cases, animators specialise in key aspects of animation. This could include CGI animation, hand-drawn animation, 3D model animation and more. Ultimately, if animation is something that interests you, there are many ways for you to achieve your goals in an animation career.
