BA (Hons) Visual Effects

If you have a passion for visual effects and motion graphics, then this is the course for you. You blend computer-generated elements with live-action footage to produce scenes that are impossible to capture in real life. You merge technical expertise with artistic creativity, producing alien worlds, massive crowds, or fire-breathing dragons on our screens. You gain experience of the whole production pipeline including previsualisation, motion design, technical animation, effects animation, look development and compositing, and develop your own specialism. By blending computer-generated and live-action footage, you create scenes that can only be developed with creative and technical expertise.

You have access to our new digital production stage featuring motion capture and an LED wall, our immersive experience space and dedicated studios using industry standard hardware and software.
