    Course Summary

    Britain has long been a world leader in visual effects production for film and television. The film industry in Britain is booming, and highly qualified new talent is always in demand. AUB’s BA in Visual Effects for Film & Television is a great way to get into this exciting field, and to one day see your name on the credits of a major blockbuster.

    You’ll learn traditional techniques and concepts, including photography, composition, colour theory and design, and build upon them with an in depth understanding of the equipment and software systems which make modern visual effects possible. You’ll bridge the gap between the artists who tell tomorrow’s stories on the silver screen and the technicians who build the devices that make it all happen.

    You’ll even do it within a stone’s throw of Framestore, the British VFX company who provided effects for stunning films like Gravity and Guardians of the Galaxy.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Course Outline

    This BA program is delivered over 3 years at full time. However, part-time attendance is an option for many students.

    Year 1:

    In year one, you’ll study traditional art and design subjects as well learning in a team-based production environment. This will mimic industry practice, and give you the skills you’ll need to work in concept development, compositing, animation and asset building.

    Year 2:

    In year 2, you’ll build your technical skills and aesthetic understanding. You’ll choose a specialty as well, such as 2D or 3D effects. Much of your learning will be achieved independently rather than in class. You may also benefit from overseas study or work placement in year 2.

    Year 3:

    In year 3, you’ll engage in a collaborative production. This will test your technical and artistic abilities and give you an excellent portfolio piece to show potential employers.  You’ll also produce a research project, and create a Professional Development Portfolio.

    Learning And Teaching

    AUB relies on a wide range of teaching methods, and you will learn in many ways. You will be largely responsible for your own progress, but you will have the help and support of academic staff throughout your studies. Many of your teachers will be past or current industry professionals. These will provide regular tutorial sessions were you will get much more individual attention than is possible in large lecture classes.

    Career Possibilities

    The VFX industry in the UK is expanding rapidly, and qualified graduates typically have little trouble finding challenging, rewarding roles in it. Placements are often available, and have recently been arranged with big names like Framestore and Industrial Light and Magic. These involved the effects seen in Transformers, Doctor Strange and many more. With practical experience like that under your belt, you could find a role almost anywhere in the industry!

    Entry & Credit

    Successful completion will result in a 3 year BA degree.

    Applicants must typically have achieved 3 A Levels at BBB or higher, which may not include General Studies. The full list of accepted qualifications can be found here.

    All classes are taught in English, and international students will be required to show proficiency in English by scoring well on an approved test.
