Our Visual Effects and Motion Graphics BSc degree is a state-of-the-art, hands-on course that combines digital technology and creative design. It will give you the knowledge and practical skills required by the visual effects and motion graphics sector within the entertainment and creative industries. This course is fully accredited by ScreenSkills, the industry-led skills body for the UK’s screen-based industries. You can see real examples of the kind of work you'll produce by viewing this showreel of project work by students graduating in 2024.
At Brunel, we combine a study of visual effects with motion graphics so you can learn a wide range of creative and technical skills required to produce high-quality visual assets and artefacts for film, TV, the web, games and other creative outlets. Professional and transferable skills required for working in the creative digital industries are developed throughout each year of the course. 
Our modern, industry standard digital media facilities include a green screen and post-production studio, motion capture, photography, and sound studios, 360° VR and up to 12K cameras, lenses, motion controllers and lights, and a dedicated render farm. You'll have independent access to exclusive PC and Mac computing workshops and benefit from the latest industry standard specialist software for graphics and image/video editing, 3D animation, digital compositing, game development, and high-quality asset creation. There's also the opportunity for you to use our immersive virtual environment laboratory.
There are guest lectures covering a wide range different digital media topics and the visiting lecturers provide industry insight and advice on how to structure your portfolio and showreels. Speakers include creative and design directors, motion graphics professionals, 3D graphic supervisors, VFX specialists and generalists.
Visits are arranged to TV and photography studios, and post-production houses. There’s also the opportunity to go to conferences and this is your chance to build networks with key industry experts. In addition, you have the advantage of Brunel’s close location to London for trips to exhibitions celebrating the creative industries.
The course can be studied full-time over three years, or four years with a placement year. This year spent in industry helps you to further prepare for the world of work and you’ll have a year’s worth of invaluable professional experience when you graduate. If you decide to go on a digital media placement year, you will have the opportunity of working in the ever-growing creative industries.
The end-of-year highlight is the degree show. Exhibiting your creative work at this event is a great way for you to connect with leading creative technologists and showcase your talent. To see some 2023 final year students discussing their end of degree projects, watch this short video.
