Postgraduate and short course taster sessions

Student modelling a sphere

Demo our courses, tutors and software

We run taster sessions throughout the year to give you an idea of what to expect on our postgraduate masters and short courses.

Join a taster to learn more about the software taught on our courses including Unreal Engine, Maya, Nuke and ZBrush. You can attend as many as you like to find the subject best suited to you.

We add taster sessions regularly throughout the year, so check back soon to find additional dates.

Why come to a taster?

  • Meet some of our industry-experienced course leaders
  • See a demo (or follow along with) industry-standard software taught on our programmes
  • Try before you buy - get a feel for what it's like studying a masters or short course with us
