Top 10 Best 3D Animation Schools | Rookies World School Rankings®

The 2021 Best 3D Animation Schools and Colleges in the World rankings is something we take very seriously and no external influences or payments are entered into at any point. Our rankings focus on the quality of students portfolios that are submitted to our judging panel which best reflect the recruitment interview process.

We feel that traditional school rankings that include peer and employer reviews, faculty to student ratio, citations and other data are not adequate when ranking the best creative schools. For a complete breakdown of how we rank the best schools for 2021 please read how we rank the best schools and how we analyse the data in the sections located at the bottom of this page.

✪ Top 3D Animation Schools and Colleges in 2021
The official rankings for 2021 have been calculated based on the performance of students work submitted to our industry panel. Full details can be found further down the page about how we calculate and rank schools.

didn't hear anything but the music!

Only thing that made this video... Not enjoyable, was the music being so loud.

Oops, fat finger trouble on mobile. Accidently deleted comment about why Animation Mentor, Animschool and a few others were not on the list. The reason for this is because their students didn't submit enough entries for our judging panel to review. With over 4, 000 entries and over 150 industry professionals contributing 50, 000+ reviews of student work... we created this ranking and we know it's a solid list based on industry standards and expectations by top studios. Hopefully this year for the Rookie Awards 2022, we will see more entries from other anim schools that have good reputations. Want to learn more... info in the description.

Do we have a 2021/22 list for best schools?
Also, just mute the music, it’s too loud, just remove it
