3D Animation & VFX Courses & Degrees

If you know you want to work in VFX, Media Design School is a no-brainer. They'll set you up with all the tools you need to springboard into the industry and you'll make so many friends and connections along the way.

Unlike other universities, MDS is unique in that your classmates take the same classes each day, which facilitates a stronger camaraderie.

I was surprised by how many MDS students there are in industry! My company is a particularly ridiculous case, where something like 90% of our artists are ex-MDS students.

What I enjoyed most about Media Design School were the friendships and networks that were made. MDS also gave me a massive amount of knowledge in different areas of design.

The teachers at MDS are inspiring and the environment is supportive, which led to the realisation that I was specialised and my knowledge was valuable.

The diversity of skills you learn while studying with their faculty is phenomenal.

I think even if there are obstacles in your way or sacrifices you have to make in the short term, choosing something that will make happy in the long run is always a wise decision.

The most valuable would be how to cope and manage your work under pressure.

In animation you're usually going to have a certain amount of ownership over the creative direction of a shot regardless of what it is.

When I received my degree, I already felt ready to embark on a career in the industry. Not only did I learned all the knowledge and skills, but also and real project experience.

If you want to get into this field, find something that motivates you and focus on achieving that. Is it your name on the credits of a blockbuster? Working with local filmmakers? Whatever it is, there will be a steep learning curve so you will need determination and motivation.
