Unlike other VFX degrees, this course focuses on real-time methods. Real-time VFX, like the ones you see in games, are being used across film, TV, virtual production, advertising and immersive experiences.

You'll create effects that you can see, hear and feel using game engines such as Unreal and VFX tools like Houdini. You'll explore topics such as visual storytelling, game programming, graphics, sound design and real-time production techniques. Plus you'll gain hands-on experience through studios collaborations, developing a portfolio that mirrors professional practice and pipelines.

With demand for real-time VFX expertise increasing, you'll graduate ready to join this exciting and evolving industry.
