This dynamic and exciting BA (Hons) Visual Effects & Post-production degree programme provides a progression route to a full Honours degree for students holding a Foundation degree in Visual Effects & Post-production or similar. This course provides a detailed knowledge of the production context and an understanding of related disciplines that inform visual effects practice, emphasising the importance of complementary filming and visual compositing skills.
You will also explore cover particle effects such as fluid and fire, object dynamics, match lighting, crowd simulation, advanced keying and other techniques. It is an exciting time to join the visual effects industry, with a shortage of skilled creatives in the CGI and VFX industries opening up many career paths.
There are plenty of opportunities for you to gain vital industry experience during your studies. Previous students have set up a YouTube channel, submitted work to film festivals, worked part-time for a production company, worked directly for clients and set up their own companies.
Whist this is a full-time course, typically this course generally only requires 1-2 days on campus attendance, supported by self-directed study. This means you can continue to work alongside your studies and balance other commitments.
Modules you may study include:
- Specialist Subject Study
- Final Project: VFX-Enhanced Production
- Asset Design for Final VFX Project
- Immersive Production (VP, XR, VR, AR)
You can apply for this course on the University of Suffolk website to study at the East Coast College Great Yarmouth campus. Click ‘More Information’ to be taken to the full course and application page.
This course is due to move to The Place – our new university centre opening in Great Yarmouth town centre – in 2025!
