Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) provides significant cultural and economic contribution to the UK through games, films, TV, advertising and visualisation, and these companies are always looking for new talent. Graduates from these courses can have exciting opportunities to work on the highest grossing films and games, the funniest and cleverest adverts and some of the most creative commercial artwork around at the moment.
In 2015, Bournemouth was recognised as the fastest growing digital economy in the UK, making Bournemouth & Poole College a great place to study CGI. Our 3D CGI programme has been training students and preparing them for industry for more than a decade.
We offer two main pathways: Modelling & Animation and Architectural Visualisation. Whichever pathway you enrol on the first year is generic to provide a solid base of 3D skills and you don’t need any previous experience of 3D.

About this course
Architectural Visualisation is intended for students who wish to make photorealistic visualisations of buildings, game environments and virtual set extensions for films. It includes architectural modelling techniques from CAD, texturing, lighting, rendering and post-production for stills and movies. This is a popular pathway and visualisation graduates are highly sought by industry and often get jobs through our industry partners.
With a Foundation Degree in Architectural Visualisation and a good portfolio, graduates will typically find junior positions in the huge number of small / medium sized visualisation companies in the UK and abroad. However your progression opportunities are increased by continuing with our BSc top-up programme which is one year with an optional placement year in industry. Many students who take placements are invited back on a permanent basis after graduating from the BSc top-up.
