If you have a keen interest in film and visual effects, our BSc (Hons) Film Technology and Visual Effects course will provide you with the technical, creative and production skills you need to be successful in the film or visual effects industry. The film aspect of the course explores the capture and editing of live action video and audio elements, while the visual effects aspect of the course looks at the creation of digital elements, such as creatures and matte environments, and the use of compositing tools to combine these live action and digital elements together, to produce convincing visual effects shots. You will focus on fundamental mathematics, physics and technical concepts, examining the behaviour of sound and light, the simulation of fluids, cloth, hair and collisions, the digital manipulation of light and sound and more.About the Foundation Year The Foundation Year course option enables you to study for our BSc (Hons) degree over an extended full-time duration of four years by including a Foundation Certificate (year one of four). The Foundation Certificate provides a broad study programme that underpins the follow-on degree. In order to progress to the next year of your degree, it is necessary to achieve a pass in all of the modules of the Foundation Certificate.
