• If students have a passion and aptitude for both the creative and technical side of the visual effects industry, this is the course for them. This course includes an optional work placement year, at no extra cost.
  • This program has the additional advantage of a master’s-level year with advanced and more deeply applied and deconstructed technical expertise in visual effects for 3D animation, film, television, and physical simulation.
  • The master’s year allows you to deepen your understanding of visual effects in more advanced technical ways, as well as providing a route to advanced degrees (for example, a Ph.D.) and world-leading technical research in the visual effects area. For this reason, students are expected to maintain a good grade average throughout their studies.
  • There is a clear focus on the technical simulation and systems side of the visual effects production pipeline. Students will learn skills in 3D modeling and surface shader creation, but especially in the technical development of tool plug-ins and implementation of physical simulations in realistic film and TV productions such as particle effects and water.
