The Course
What you will study
You will study a selection of core and optional modules in each year. Each module is worth a number of credits and you will study 360 credits throughout your degree. Each module is delivered differently, depending on its content and focus of study.
During your first year you will be introduced to animation and discover the fundamental workflows and design principles that underpin all 3D Animation and VFX skills. You will discover the software you will use throughout your degree and in your career, and experience a range of topics you may choose to specialise in later.
In your second year you will develop your skills and explore an overview of the technical and creative skills needed across the film and animation industry. You will begin to develop your specialist interests. You could focus on modelling, rigging, character animation or compositing. You will also study cinematography and learn about cameras, lenses, lights and composition.
In your final year you will develop advanced skills and have the chance to refine your skills through ongoing exercise based practice, guided by regular group review sessions. You will complete a major project individually or as part of a group and hone your employability skills, working closely with staff to refine your portfolio and ensure it represents your effectively while meeting current industry needs.
This list is indicative and subject to change.
