Course Structure and Content

This degree focuses on the techniques and technology used in the creation of high quality visual effects through the manipulation of live action and digitally created imagery.

The course will enable students to develop complex skills using industry-standard equipment over a 3-year period.

Year one will give students a grounding in the core skills required to succeed in the industry and will cover topics such as Film Studies and Film History and Animation Skills. The second year focuses on fundamental issues related to working in post-production such as Digital Compositing, Digital Film-making and Editing and Effects Animation. The final year allows students to undertake a major project that will form a substantial part of their completed portfolio.

Students may choose to spend a year in industry after their second year or opt to continue immediately with their final year options.

Course Structure and Content

Full time undergraduate degrees are taught over three years at the university, plus perhaps, a "sandwich" year in industry after the second year.

These are the modules you could expect to study on this course. The modules you can choose in your Second and Final years will depend on those you have studied in preceeding years. Also, some second and final year modules may be changed or restructured in order to keep the course up to date with latest trends in the industry.
