This three-year undergraduate degree will give you the skills to become a science innovator in an ever-evolving job market. You might develop new technologies, treat diseases, protect the environment, or address many other problems that require expert scientific minds. You'll learn how to collect, analyse and understand data, gathering a practical toolkit of knowledge. Our students are ready to leap into the careers of the future, and change New Zealand—and the world—for the better. As a Bachelor of Science (BSc) student at Victoria, you’ll absorb knowledge, observe phenomena, experiment with ideas and maybe even be part of making new discoveries. Learn about the key concepts and tools used in the creation of today's computer graphics and effects. Gain the programming, engineering and maths skills to create your own rendering tools, and get an introduction to the design side of computer graphics.
