First Year at Escape Studios
The First Year at Escape Studios is the same for all our undergraduate students studying “The Art of…” subjects, whether they are studying The Art of VFX, The Art of Animation, or The Art of Games.
Common First Year
This Common First Year means that in the first year of studies (“Level 4”), all our “Art of…” UG students study a broad, flexible curriculum, enabling them to understand the whole animation, games and VFX pipeline before committing to their specialism in their second year.
