    School of the Year
    Official World Rankings​

    The rankings are based on the quality and performance of student work that is submitted to our judging panel each year for the Rookie Awards.

    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. This might work for more traditional career paths, however when it comes to technical and creative roles across Visual Effects, Feature Animation, Games and similar career paths it’s a lot more complicated.
