Visual Effects BA (hons) in University of West London

Would you like to join the UK's fastest growing economy? Visual effects (VFX) is the process of creating digital effects for films, advertisements, television, games and augmented reality (AR). As an industry, it is worth over £71bn to the UK economy alone and demand for skilled graduates is only increasing.

On this course you will create dramatic Hollywood blockbuster effects as well as the subtler changes used in AR and 3D architectural visualisation. You will also learn to use advanced software, professional equipment and develop the techniques you need to build believable worlds.

During the course, industry practice modules will give you direct exposure to VFX roles and career opportunities.

Based in London, the centre of the UK’s creative industries, this innovative VFX course places you at the heart of the action. It aims to give you a dynamic, contemporary and hands-on experience as you learn to work with advanced materials and techniques.

The course has been designed with input from some of the leading effects facilities, including DNeg, and developed with advice and guidelines from the professional body Creative Skillset. 

In lectures and hands-on workshops, you will be able to build your skills and knowledge. Alongside your technical skills development, we will introduce you to regular industry practices. By taking part in 'class crits' you will get used to the industry use of 'dailies' – production meetings where VFX artists get together to share and assess their work as it stands. 

You will learn how to make your work both imaginative and realistic, using professional software, equipment and tools, including:

• Maya

• 3D Equalizer
