The aim of MSc Computer Animation and Visual Effects is to produce graduates with the range and depth of technical skills necessary to become future Technical Directors within the computer animation and computer games sectors. Students will gain knowledge and skills which will enable them to understand Computer Animation production and implement appropriate tools for such productions. Students have regular presentations and master classes from invited industry speakers. This exposure to real-world projects and state-of-the-art techniques from professional practitioners is highly valued by students and is major course strength. Successful graduates will discover that their transferable technical skills are a valuable asset when seeking employment.

The course is oriented toward the creation of graduates with a combination of artistic sensibilities, problem solving and technical skills. The skills and experience gained can be applied within the animation and games industries, where technical directors often have to work alongside computer animators and resolve technical problems either by configuring existing software tools or designing new tools.

This course develops a student´s programming and scripting skills and introduces them to the special techniques and tools associated with computer animation. Emphasis is placed on the use of industry standard hardware and software in the development of these techniques. These skills are assessed in a variety of projects undertaken by students during the academic Course. Typical examples include the development of C++ programs to test new algorithms; the writing of shaders to support rendering and the developing of scripts to create new animation effects.
