University masters degree

Hi,
I'm currently thinking about doing a master's in 3d Animation, I'm a 3D artist but originally I don't have a degree in this field, I'm thinking about studying in Germany maybe, does anyone of you guys ever studied a master in this field? or do you recommend a certain course?

Would the degree help you archiving what it is you want to do ?

It can, I think It could take my skills to the next level and maybe open my eyes to more techniques I'm missing

If you have the skills than the top address would be filmakademie badenwürtemberg http://www.filmakademie.de/
A buddy i studied with has made his masters degree there, you definetely get to work on a lot of interesting projects with talented people. He chose the Technical director course, so focusing more on the technical side of the animation business. So actually not  sure if there is a masters degree that focuses on doing actual animation. They not only focus on cg animation so you will definetely will broaden your horizon there.

Also http://www.filmuniversitaet.de/ located in potsdam is a top adress when it comes to animation. They should have master degree courses too.
edit: Seems like the Potsdam school takes "Meisterschüler" for animation. So if you are less into the academic theoretical side of things that i imagine a master degree is, than that might be something for you.
Good Luck!
