Computer Animation and Visual Effects with Foundation Year

The Department of Computing and Mathematics has a reputation for academic excellence and you’ll learn from research-active staff working at the forefront of their specialist fields – well placed to support and guide you as you discover yours.

The foundation year provides a route onto a degree if you don't have the qualifications or have not studied advanced level subjects sufficiently related to your course of choice.

After successful completion of the foundation year in computing and mathematics, you can progress on to one of the relevant BSc (Hons) degrees.

Whichever route you take, you’ll have the skills and understanding you need to undertake further study or get started in your career.
