BA (Hons) Computer Animation and Visual Effects is a practice-led, concept-driven course that will enable you to explore your creative process through a range of 2D and 3D digital tools and technologies that are key to developing your conceptual, creative and technical skillset.
In Year 1, you’ll be introduced to both digital and analogue 2D and 3D media. You’ll sharpen your understanding of essential foundation skills such as perception and real-world observation, composition, light and anatomy, and learn essential tools for communication, problem-solving, and critical and conceptual thinking.
In Year 2, you’ll further develop your technical skillset and problem-solving skills through targeted technical tutorials and projects as you choose to specialise in either Computer Animation or Visual Effects:
- The Computer Animation specialism will support you to develop the broad skillset needed to create 3D digital art across established industries such as animation, film, television or games.
- The Visual Effects specialism will support you to learn the technical skills and expertise needed to work within the visual effects industries, with an emphasis on 2D and live action areas such as compositing, environment creation and CG integration.
In Year 3, you’ll undertake a significant Final Major Project that will enable you to utilise and sharpen the skills learned during your first 2 years of study. You’ll work actively and collaboratively, and be encouraged to think about your desired future career in order to tailor your portfolio.
