Description

  • Type

    Bachelor's degree

  • Location

    Preston

Focusing on all aspects of digital post production, this new course is backed up with solid foundations in computer graphics, CGI and compositing techniques, underpinned by a clear understanding of visual literacy, narrative and design theory. You’ll develop a range of skills and become a creative problem solver, preparing you to work in any situation and come up with creative solutions. The course develops from a tutor led first year, where techniques are studied in detail, through to a more open final year where you’ll develop your particular areas of interest and a professional show-reel. This is supported throughout by live briefs and industry links to ensure that employability is embedded firmly within all aspects of the course.
