In its recently announced 2021 school rankings of the “Top 25 International Animation Training Programs”, The One Academy – one of Malaysia’s leading art and design institutions, made the list for the third year running by ranking in at #8. The college steadily climbs up the ranks, previously entering at #11 in 2019 and placing #10 last year.

For the animation category, the criteria used to determine the rankings is the institute’s academic reputation, admission selectivity, depth and breadth of the programme, value relating to tuition and indebtedness and employment data. With 178 international colleges considered this year, The One Academy has scored highly in each of the above criteria, beating out countries Singapore, Brazil, South Africa, France, Sweden, Portugal and Australia in the list.

In the current world where global consumers are displaying a growing appetite for engaging visual experiences and moviegoers demanding high-quality productions with realistic animation and visual effect, studios are including more animation and VFX scenes into film productions and games. According to ResearchAndMarkets.com, the market size of the global animation, VFX and video games industry reached US$ 261 billion in 2020.

At The One Academy, the Digital Animation students are taught the different dimensions that make up animation such as storytelling, acting, figure drawing, CG modelling and more.
