Emily Carr University is BC’s premier learning institution for media arts.

​

Our Film + Screen Arts Major is dedicated to the hands-on exploration of contemporary digital media, and historic analogue and mechanical processes and practices. Our 2D and 3D Animation Majors offer in-depth training in analogue, digital, and experimental animation principles, and expose you to every aspect of animation production.

​

With our New Media + Sound Major, you’ll learn everything you need to know to produce visuals and sound for interactive environments, new media performance, instrument design, computer music, web projects, robotics and wearable electronics.

​

ECU students are connected with communities of in-demand professionals, working researchers and cutting-edge companies. We prepare you for professional practice in film, animation and media, and for graduate work at the university level.
