Visual Effects (VFX) MA

Our VFX MA course will give you extensive, practical training on real film sets, in a VFX and animation studio, and in cutting-edge grading and finishing suites. You will develop a variety of practical and creative skills from planning, through filming, emulation, CGI creation, VFX creation and finally post production, finishing and delivery. All students learn essential 2D and 3D VFX techniques, using the latest available software and camera technology, and then choose to specialise in either CG or Compositing. 

Collaboration is a key part of the course - VFX students work alongside those in other specialisms at the NFTS to make film, TV, games and other practical projects, including directors, cinematographers, editors, model makers and colourists.

With a graduate employment rate of over 90%, the NFTS helps to provide the industry with the next generation of VFX professionals, who go on to work in key roles on major productions. 

All production costs are included in the course fees, including the use of School facilities and equipment, and generous funding is available for UK applicants.
