FdSc Computer Generated Imagery
Higher Education at The College is actively promoting Foundation Degrees to Industry. As these are vocational courses it is important for us to work in partnership with interested employers who can offer short-term student placements, sit on our advisory panels, or guest speak at a lecture. This continually serves to update the quality of the courses we can bring to our students and help to produce graduates with skills recognised and needed by Industry.

Skills for the Professional Workplace
3D Computer Generated Imagery is designed to meet the new Industry standards in the area of computer programming and design. This technology has now reached a level of such sophistication that a number of specialist applications are now emerging. CGI representations are now used in a huge range of areas. Central to the whole course students have the chance to learn software such as 3D Studio Max and Adobe Photoshop.

Work Placement
What makes a Foundation Degree distinctive to an employer is the vocational element of the course. Students are required to undertake a period of work placement within a relevant business to inform their classroom tuition with real Industry experience. This also allows employers to feed into our curriculum the skills they feel future employees of their Industry should have, in their professional capacity.

Getting Involved
Many local companies have been involved in advising us on the design of our Foundation Degrees and help us to keep course content up-to-date and Industry relevant. We are always appreciative of new companies giving a short amount of their time to assist us in this design process.
