Brief Summary

For more than a decade our 3D CGI programme has been training students and preparing them for work.

The 3D CGI industry is a thriving and diverse industry that could see you working in a variety of disciplines such as video games, architectural visualisation, television and film. Through classroom-based lectures, one-to-one teaching and practical trips you will learn the skills that will prepare you for a multitude of sort-after roles including but not limited to animator, modeller, environment, character, texture, VFX and real-time artist or a flexible and adaptable 3D generalist.
