The first VFX Specialisation Education in Finland starts in the Autumn 2022!
Description and objectives
The objective of the specialisation education is to develop competencies in the field of visual effects, VFX, for advancing the competitiveness and growth of the Finnish audiovisual industry. The initiative for the education comes from the audiovisual sector and is triggered by the increased number of international and national VFX productions. The goal is to educate professionals who know the pipeline and work methods of visual effect productions, can work as VFX artists in audiovisual productions and can further develop their knowledge and skills in the international work environment. According to the working life partners, the training should start quickly so that Finland's VFX sector becomes an internationally competitive expertise field.
Target group
The target group is professionals who work in the audiovisual industry, game industry, or in some other media field and whose prior work experience and competencies support building the VFX artist career in the specialisation education. The education is targeted to professionals holding Bachelor’s Degree in Culture and Arts or some other applicable degree or to professionals that a higher education institution recognizes to have sufficient knowledge and capabilities for the studies.
Students develop intentionally their knowledge and skills in some VFX specialisation field by planning and executing a project work and creating a personal VFX showreel.
