Learning VFX skills is a good investment in the future. The UK has a mature and growing visual effects industry – estimated by Creative Skillset to be the biggest in Europe and possibly the second-biggest in the world. As well as the film, TV and games industries, the digital skills you will develop on the course are in strong demand in many creative jobs and in fields as diverse as interior design, medical imaging, fashion and the automotive industry. VFX is a busy industry with plenty of opportunities. As well as developing a broad knowledge and awareness of key aspects of Creative Media Production, you will study specialist subjects like Visual Effects Practices, 3D Modelling and Visual Effects & Motion Graphics Cultures. You will develop critically important skills in team-working, and using language that enables clear communication of concepts and day-to-day processes across the VFX spectrum. The course aims to provide you with the core skills and behaviours that are universally useful across all VFX departments, companies and specialisms. This course emphasises practical studio production skills and developing a creative and professional approach to media production, with an emphasis on visual effects. Working with a range of diverse and converging technologies and methodologies, successful candidates will develop innovative responses to create contemporary media solutions.
