A programme that drives talent and connects it with industry
The Rookies has established itself as one of the industry’s most important rankings, evaluating schools and universities worldwide based on the quality of students’ projects and their technical and creative preparation. The results achieved by Animation and VFX Degree students highlight a programme grounded in practice and project development, enabling them to apply their knowledge and take on the creative and technical challenges of the professional world.

The journey of short films such as Baile con la muerte, DAVI and Ramen for two, recognised at national and international festivals and competitions, also reinforces this showcase of the campus’s talent. Taken together, the results of The Rookies 2026 recognise the talent of the campus’s students and a programme that combines creativity, technical preparation and hands-on experience to connect university learning with a global industry.
