We are excited to welcome AAFT School of Animation in India as a new member of the Unity Academic Alliance (UAA) – a global network of institutions that work together to bring innovation in Gaming, 2D, 3D, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) experiences. The alliance is a step towards providing AAFT students with knowledge of the latest cutting-edge tools and resources in the 3D space. The partnership exemplifies how industry and academia work together to bridge the skills gap and open up new opportunities for students.

Unity is a world leading real-time 3D development platform and gives developers the power to bring their visualisations to life by leveraging the latest tools and technologies. The Unity Academic Alliance recognises post-secondary institutions and provides the tools and resources needed to expand the real-time 3D development ecosystem.

AAFT is delighted to join the Unity Academic Alliance. We believe that it will further help us empower our students to enter industry with globally recognised skills and prepare them for the jobs of tomorrow.
