About the course
This vocational course is focused on helping you to develop a range of skills to serve the dynamic and fast-moving animation and VFX sector within the creative media industries, as well as giving you knowledge and understanding of the range of potential career paths that you could pursue upon graduation. There is a strong focus on industry practice and learning how the animation and VFX industry works in the UK. You will be taught by former specialists in the field, including ex-Aardman employees, which will enhance your opportunities to learn about the possible career paths and the skills needed as a practitioner in the different areas.
Maths & English
A key requirement for obtaining many jobs is to achieve a good standard of English and maths. Therefore, learners that do not yet have a GCSE grade 4 (C) in these subjects will be enrolled on either a GCSE or Functional Skills course alongside their main study programme.
What do I need to join
To join this course, applicants must have either:
Five or more GCSEs at grade 4/C or above, including at least one in English or Maths
Or
A relevant Level 2 Diploma, plus at least one GCSE at grade 4/C in English or Maths.
Applicants should also have a keen interest in the subject, be committed and punctual, and show enthusiasm for learning new skills.
Applicants will be invited to an interview and will be invited to bring in a portfolio and/or undertake an interview task, more details of which will be found in our interview invitation.
What can I do next
It is expected that students from this course will be suitably prepared for entry-level employment within the creative industries, though most will progress onto the BA (Hons) Degree in Animation and/or VFX and move into working life from there.
