After your first year of shared core subjects, the Bachelor of Visual Effects and Entertainment Design provides the opportunity to specialise in one of six exciting areas, each designed to help you develop the creative and technical skills that best match your passions.
Not sure which specialisation is right for you? This might help you decide:
This specialisation is ideal if you love drawing, painting and digital illustration. You’ll sharpen your visual storytelling skills by creating conceptually-informed artwork using industry-standard software and learn how to manage creative projects, communicate with clients and move from brief to illustration.
Focus on bringing a narrative and motion to life: from planning (storyboarding) through to character design and animation principles like timing and movement. This stream emphasises how to convey flow, emotion and visual continuity in 2D formats.
Dive into the creation of high-quality 3D assets. You’ll build skills in modelling, digital sculpting (form, texture, anatomy) and learn how to approach design challenges with both creative and professional polish.
Here you’ll put movement into the 3D world: mastering animation fundamentals such as squash & stretch, anticipation and follow-through, in the context of game and film pipelines. It’s about breathing life into characters, props and scenes in a 3D space.
This stream focuses on the later stages of production: computer-generated imagery (CGI), visual effects workflows, editing, compositing and colour grading. You’ll gain the skills to polish and finalise visual narratives by working with multidisciplinary teams.
A broader specialisation centred on design, storytelling and content creation in the digital space. You’ll learn how to implement digital media pipelines, use analytics tools, and create content that cuts through in entertainment, advertising or games contexts.
