The University of York International Pathway College is part of the University of York, and offers pathway courses to prepare students for a bachelor’s or master’s degree.

This course emphasises a high level of craft and creativity, combined with critical thought and collaboration. Students will gain scientific and technical training with hands-on experience of visual effects systems, programme creation and artistic decision-making.

Students will be taught through a mix of workshops, lectures, screenings and masterclasses with leading academics and industry professionals. Students will use industry-standard facilities in a vibrant and supportive environment. Students will realise their own creative and technical projects and develop essential professional skills to pursue a career in industry.

On this MA students can focus on production-orientated work. Alternatively they can focus on formal research into the technologies behind postproduction systems and apply for the MSc Film and Television Production with Visual Effects.
