Our visual effects course gives you access to some of the best VFX facilities, studios and workshops in the country.

Why study visual effects with us

You’ll master the professional-standard software and equipment – and put your skills into practice with a variety of hands-on experiences. You’ll collaborate with students from our Film, TV Production and 3D Animation courses to see how visual effects plays a key role across a variety of platforms. You can also enhance your employability skills with a range of work placements opportunities. VFX graduates have gone on to secure roles as matchmove artists, rotoscope artists, modellers, texture artists, and junior compositors.

After you graduate you will be qualified to begin a range of positions in the industry. These include roles as a Matchmove Artist, Rotoscope Artist, Modeller, Texture Artist and Junior Compositor. Ultimately, you would be able to work your way up the ladder and become a Technical Director.

However, graduates experienced in VFX are highly sought by television companies, broadcasting organisations, film studios, independent production houses, online streaming services and specialist VFX studios – so you will be able to apply your specialist skills to a wide range of areas.

Traditionally, degrees in visual effects have left graduates without a wide enough skills base to progress from the specific roles listed above, which is why we have designed out degree specifically to provide students with a broad set of skills and experiences so they are able to turn their hand to all areas of the VFX pipeline.
