Level 3 Diploma in VFX – step into the world of Visual Effects and virtual production.
The UK is one of the global leaders in VFX, and demand for skilled artists is growing fast. On this course, you’ll master the techniques behind the blockbuster scenes; like motion capture, 3D scanning, and Unreal Engine environment building. You’ll even get work with photogrammetry to create detailed 3D models from real life objects and people.
You’ll learn industry-standard workflows for compositing, build your knowledge of virtual production, and grow the technical and creative skills needed to thrive in this exciting field. This is your launchpad into a future in film, TV, games, and beyond.
T Level in Content Creation – create compelling media and tell powerful stories during this course.
If you’re driven to make your mark online or behind the camera, this two-year course gives you a fantastic practical understanding into the creative industries. In Year One, you’ll explore the theory and principles behind great content, everything from audience research and creative ethics to the cultural impact of media.
In Year Two, it’s all about putting those skills into action. You’ll focus on practical, project-based work in videography, photography, and digital production before finishing with a major media project that showcases your talent.
Plus, you’ll complete a meaningful industry placement, gaining experience that prepares you for work, freelancing, or further study.
Level 3 Diploma in Animation and Illustration – bring your ideas to life through art, design and storytelling with this one-year course.
If you love drawing, designing, and imagining new worlds, this new media course offers a creative, industry-connected pathway into animation and illustration. You’ll work across 2D, 3D and mixed media, exploring both traditional and digital methods through live briefs, workshops and collaborative projects.
We’ve partnered with A+C Studios in Margate, which is a renowned animation studio, so you’ll benefit from real mentorship, industry placements, and an insider’s view of how animation is made professionally.
Whether you want to move on to university, a creative apprenticeship, or straight into the industry, this course builds the confidence, portfolio, and skills you need to take that next step.
No matter which course you choose, your experience will go far beyond the studios and classrooms here at college. As a student, you’ll have the chance to collaborate on exciting cross-department projects within the College, helping you build a diverse and dynamic portfolio. You’ll take part in local media events that boost both your confidence and your experience, while expert talks and workshops with working professionals will give you valuable insights into the creative industries.
These three new courses are more than just qualifications, they’re your opportunity to explore your creativity, gain desired skills, and make valuable connections in the media industry.
