About this course

This is the final frontier in the film-making process, where raw footage is transformed into cohesive, compelling film and visual storytelling is pushed beyond the realms of possibility. This degree covers all aspects of post production and visual effects (VFX) for film, TV and animation, from creating magical sound design to clever scene cutting to ramp up tension. You’ll gain hands-on technical experience in a specialist facility with equipment and workflows that mirror industry practice, developing high-level skills and professionally recognised software qualifications.
