Career opportunities

Visual Effects are central to almost all blockbuster films and television series, from the dragons of Game of Thrones to the gravitational lensing of the black hole in Interstellar. It is one of the fastest growing industry sectors, both in the UK and abroad.

There is currently a shortage of skilled creatives in the CGI and VFX industries, so once you gain your degree, the chances of employment in the industry are good – though getting on the first rung of the ladder can still be challenging.

Salaries can be high compared to production jobs like camera operators and producers where supply outstrips demand. Visual Effects graduates have a range of transferable skills that can be applied to many varied roles.

This is a vibrant and expanding industry to work in, and may take you across the world during your career.
