After finishing my degree in Computer Animation Arts at Bournemouth University, I chose to take on a Masters. I found this to be the best decision as I have learnt so much in a short space of time. The teaching in Digital Effects is thorough and help is always at hand if you get lost at all. It is an intense course for anyone who is new to the subject but it will bring you up to speed quickly as we all start from the same level.
The facilities were great with computer access 24/7, a green screen studio and high spec equipment to hire out. After taking the relevant training you will be free to hire out spaces as you please to complete your projects. This course is very practical and allows you to build on your skills ready for industry.
I would highly recommend BU for the study of Digital Effects.
