Course Overview

Every film goes through three stages: pre-production, production and post production. Post production is a creative and technical process that can make a bad film good, and a good film great.  With a growing demand for bigger and better visual effects, there’s never been a better time to study on a VFX and post production degree course.

Combining practical skills with theory, this BA (Hons) Post Production and VFX degree course has been developed and shaped by leading production companies to ensure our teaching reflects a constantly evolving industry. You’ll cover all aspects of post production, from initial shooting to editing, sound design and VFX creation. At the heart of our post production university courses is collaborative practice, equipping you with the skills you establish a professional career in the creative industry.
