Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) is everywhere and if you are interested in the visual side of any industry, you can explore that with CGI. Our CGI degree brings the latest cutting-edge techniques and industry standard software into the curriculum, as well as offering you the flexibility to apply your learning in almost any field.
CGI is a mix of the artistic and the creative, and this degree supports you by nurturing and building both sides. You may come to us with no 3D experience, or you may have been producing your own models or animations before, either way our small group sizes enable us work with you individually to develop your CGI skills – helping you to meet industry expectations in your chosen direction.
This course is designed to help you evolve from being a learner, to a practitioner with strong creative and technical awareness. You will explore many different areas of CGI to help you build a wide skill base, before focusing on a more specialist area with exactly the skills your chosen industry requires.
Being aware of industry practices and making contact with industry artists is vital for developing your future career. And our experienced course team will help you to build an industry network during your degree. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn good social media practice, attend guest lectures and weekly forums, and attend annual events such as CGFX, Viz.Arch Viz and our graduate showcase.
After learning the general principles of CGI in the first year, students spend the second and third year developing a specialism.
