Study With Us

Courses Available

You may have noticed that we offer Intermediate and Advanced courses for most areas.

Intermediate courses are equivalent to Level 1/2 and are for those people who need a bit of extra focus and support in order to learn more about their specific interest, get familiar with tools and equipment and may need to resit GCSE English and/or maths.

Advanced courses are equivalent to Level 3 and are ideal for people who have a good grasp of their interest, but need to focus on developing their technical skill and concentrate on growing their skills and employability, learning how to turn their talent into a career.

Media & Games, Animation & VFX Courses

Media Production

From learning how to use industry standard film production equipment in our television production studio, to animation and drawing storyboards, you can expect to graduate as a well-rounded producer, director, and media specialist.

Games, Animation & Visual Effects

This course is a great way to decide where you fit into the games, animation and visual effects industry. Whilst on the course you will look at concept art for video games and film, and the fundamentals of games, animation and VFX.
