I took the MA Digital Effects course at Bournemouth University and it was a great experience. As a student who had experience studying the subject in other institutions, I found BU and especially MA Digital Effects is the better place to study VFX and I still learnt new things and techniques. The course is intense for students who are new to the subject, but it is designed to bring everyone up to the same level after the first few modules. Furthermore, BU probably has the best connection with the VFX industry and the resource they offer is unthinkable in other institutions. We have a guest speakers and industry professionals come every week to talk and give lectures sometimes.
I would recommend BU and MA Digital Effects to anyone who wants to step into the vfx industry.
