Visual Effects (with Integrated Foundation & Professional Practice Years)

BA (Hons) Visual Effects (with Integrated Foundation Year and Professional Practice Year) is a five year degree programme, including a foundation year to help develop your creativity before you embark on year one of a degree. Your fourth academic year would then include a year in industry placement.

Visual effects are an essential and integral component of contemporary films, high-end television productions, commercials, and music promos – and our BA (Hons) Visual Effects degree course is where you can begin your learning journey to create them.

Taught from a film department at UCA Farnham with a 60-year history and working within purpose-built studios housing multiple live-action productions, you’ll gain an in-depth practical knowledge of the key software and hardware, computer graphics techniques, and production pipelines currently used in the visual effects industry.

As well as building your technical knowledge, you’ll be taught professional practices for working with clients and briefs, develop critical and analytical skills, and learn about the history of visual effects. You can also choose elective creative units from other courses to expand your understanding of film production, acting, music, or animation.

Throughout the course you will have the opportunity to explore and discover the roles that appeal to you as an emerging VFX artist and develop an individual style to help you launch your career in the industry.
