Course Overview

Visual Effects*, commonly shortened to VFX, is the integration of live-action footage and generated imagery to create environments which look realistic, but would be dangerous, costly or simply impossible to capture on film. This course offers students an innovative learning environment to develop knowledge and practical skills on how to integrate computer graphics and 3D components into live action, while immersing themselves and learning techniques that are used in Hollywood to produce blockbuster films.

Teaming up with Tau Films – an international creative content and visual effects company formed by a global team of exceptional artists and visionaries, this collaboration boosts the filmmaking industry and helps students build their career in the VFX industry by providing career opportunities.

*Starting from the August 2025 intake, this will be a specialisation under the Digital Animation programme.
