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.
