Visual Effects (VFX) BSc (Hons) is an industry-focused course which provides you with the skills needed to gain a professional role in visual effects for video and film. This course encourages you to develop your creative flair and understanding of industry-standard software to create your own 3D content for use in film and television projects. You will study a range of topics including VFX and compositing basics, 3D modelling and animation, match-moving and MOCAP (motion capture), and tracking rigging and compositing. You will benefit from our specialist facilities, featuring audio recording studios, broadcast-standard radio production studios and management systems, standalone film studios equipped with multi-cameras, as well as green screen facilities. Our VFX facilities include high-definition mixed media workstations, using industry-standard software such as 3ds Max, Maya, Nuke, After Effects and DaVinci Resolve. As an integral part of the multibillion-pound film and television industry, studying the creative and technical skills used in visual effects can open up extensive career prospects. Our graduates have gone on to work in roles such as compositors and matte painters, as well as wider media-based roles such as colourists and finishers.

Teaching consists of a combination of lectures, tutorials, group projects, practical workshops and self-directed study. Guest lectures from specialists working within the creative sector are organised throughout the year, and it is advisable that you attend as many of these sessions as possible. Critical sessions are delivered by a cross-faculty team of academic researchers in VFX, film, animation and the arts so students will benefit from a cross section of expertise specific to the area which is being studied in each module. Assessment will take place via submitted coursework constituting production and pre-production work, through individual and group projects, peer review, written exploratory pieces, and submitted academic materials. You will present work in a variety of traditional and contemporary digital formats. You will normally attend 13-17 hours of timetabled sessions each week, and are expected to undertake at least 20-25 further hours per week of directed independent study and assignments as required.
