1. Yup! You can choose a profile that fits with your needs, which means you can also choose a 2D animation class. You will still be following other classes next to it, though.
2. What do you mean by this? Like, bring your own input? Of course! It's a creative study.
3. The artist is purely working on the visuals of a product. This includes 3d modelling, background art, concept art, environmental art, sound design, etc. A Designer works on the experience of a product, not the visuals (except for the interface sometimes). They're very different roles. I highly recommend checking out the Digital Open Days, which will be livestreams where we tell you all about the study and its contents. I highly recommend keeping your eye on https://saxion.edu/cmgt to see when the next one is.
4. After the study? No. But you can pay for the study in monthly instalments. If you are having financial troubles, you can contact Saxion for more information on this.
If you have any further questions, I recommend joining our Open Day Discord server, where many students and teachers answer questions like this one. You can join here: https://discord.gg/286YchUJJ6.
