Post Production & Visual Effects with Professional Placement

1 Study option · UndergraduatePenryn Campus

Course summary

Create cinematic greatness as a post production and VFX specialist.

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.

You will:
Refine your skills in areas including picture editing, colour grading, compositing, VFX, rotoscoping, digital imaging, sound design and audio mixing.
Gain intensive, hands-on technical and craft experience of image and audio post-production equipment, workflows and software.
Gain recognised industry software certifications as an optional part of the course, giving you the edge over your peers.
Have the opportunity to participate in live client briefs as well as short and feature films through our Sound/Image Cinema Lab.
Benefit from our industry links with the likes of Adobe, Avid, Blackmagic Design and Arri, as well as numerous UK-based and international post houses and VFX studios including Framestore, ILM and Envy amongst many others.

You will also engage in our weekly InTo Industry programme of guest speakers and alumni. You’ll learn directly from leading practitioners and connect with our extensive global alumni, helping you to build your network from day one. Recent guests have included Nikki Atkinson (previs/postvis, The Matrix Resurrections, postvis, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), Mark Connell (Production Designer, Radiohead: Follow Me Around and The Chemical Brothers: We’ve Got To Try) and Graham Wild (Dubbing Mixer, Our Planet, Blue Planet II and Planet Earth II).

This course is accredited by CILECT, Albert, AVID, and ARRI
