Bournemouth University

YouTube has some videos of students in the Master of Digital Effects at the National Centre for Computer Animation.

From their page:

Using digital tools to create visual effects for film and television. Visual effects are typically shots or sequences of images that cannot be created live in front of the camera, but have to be created using production and post production processes.

The core of digital effects is the combination of captured live action with synthetic images, though sequences that are created could be all CG or all live action. The digital tools can take a variety of forms, including 3D softwares and compositing softwares. The main softwares taught and used by the students are: Houdini,Nuke, PFTrack.

Objective of the programme

Creating future industry leaders. People who, with time and experience, will become the next generation of visual effects supervisors and designers.
