BSc (Hons) VFX

​

Visual effects (VFX), the process of creating digital effects for movies, commercials, television, games and other media, is the UK’s fastest growing economy worth more than £71bn with London being the international hub. 

Based in the heart of London adjacent to the world famous Ealing Studios our BSc (Hons) VFX degree course will enable you to create visual effects to an industry ready level. You will create both the dramatic effects seen in Hollywood blockbusters and also learn the craft of the more subtle effects that enhance everything from film through commercials and television to architectural visualisation and augmented reality.

The course has been designed with input from leading effects facilities including DNeg and developed following advice and guidelines from the professional body Creative Skillset.

​

On the course you will work with cutting edge software, professional equipment and learn the complex techniques needed to build realistic believable worlds.
