BA (Hons) Visual Effects (VFX) for Film and Television
Britain is a leading country in the production of high quality visual effects for film.
Industry context
The British film industry is hungry for new talent and our Visual Effects course is designed to feed it with highly skilled graduates of the required professional standard. Since the Harry Potter boom in the early 2000s, alongside a recent influx of new releases from studios, such as Disney and Marvel, the Film and VFX industry is expanding at an exponential rate. This has firmly established the UK as a leading country for high-quality Visual Effects work and created an unprecedented demand for fresh, highly trained graduate talent from the UK education system.
Placements
The course is taught through a combination of lectures, seminars, workshops and independent learning. There's also the opportunity for industry placements.
Career destinations
Since the course conception in 2015 we've successfully placed students at both Framestore and Industrial Light and Magic in fully paid positions, as part of the teams creating VFX for movies such as Dr Strange and Transformers.
Facilities and equipment
The course is extremely well-resourced with state-of-the-art hardware and industry-standard software and tools. You’ll use the same equipment as the professionals.
Trips and visits
We make sure that you'll enjoy your time with us. We regularly organise social events, ranging from paint-balling to boat trips and more industry-driven social events with influential industry partners.
