Computer Animation and Visual Effects is a 3-year long BA degree in which students use Houdini, Nuke, Maya and many other software to create short film and experimental creative projects. Teaching of Houdini begins at the start of Year 2 and continues through to graduation at the end of Year 3. Students receive instruction by lecturers who are industry professional Houdini artists.
During Year 3, all students undertake a Final Major Project, which is self-directed and students choose their own project topic and the software they wish to use. Year 3 teaching is primarily tutorial-based, with support tailored to each student’s individual needs.
