Course Overview

As a BSc (Hons) Visual Effects and Animation graduate you’ll be able to demonstrate and combine creative skills with high levels of technical ability. You’ll possess a strong understanding of the technical aspects of 3D computer modelling, texturing, lighting, rendering, rigging and animation as well as the areas of compositing, matte painting and environments. You’ll also be able to demonstrate a wide range of transferable skills, including team work, planning and organisation, working to briefs and deadlines, communication both oral and written, presenting work and changes, critical analysis and logical thinking. An interest in the moving image, creating short films or animation sequences, a basic grasp of scripting and automation, illustration and life drawing will all put you in good stead for a career in visual effects.

General Eligibility

104 UCAS points. Your Level 3 subjects must include at least one subject that supports you to showcase either creative OR technical skills that are relevant to the study of visual effects and animation. Creative subjects such as art and design, fine art, film, photography or media are welcomed. Alternatively, technical subjects such as computing, engineering, physics and mathematics can also be a great starting point for this degree. For instance, an applicant studying A-levels in Art & Design, English Literature and Psychology would be invited to a portfolio interview, as would an applicant taking A-levels in Mathematics, Geography and History. We accept qualifications from across the UCAS Tariff, so if you’re unsure if the subjects you’re studying are suitable, or want help choosing suitable subjects at Level 3, please get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to advise you. You should also have five GCSEs at grade C or above or grade 4 to 9 (or equivalent) including English and Mathematics.

Part Time Work Details

Apprentices will need to be employed by your organization for a minimum of 30 hours per week. Your organization will also need to commit to sponsoring apprentices to complete this qualification.

Language Requirement

  • If English isn’t your first language, you’ll also need IELTS 6.0 with no less than 5.5 in any band (or equivalent). We also accept a range of other English language qualifications
