Summary
Launch your model/prop making career with our specialist course.
This unique and exciting one year full-time practical Postgraduate Diploma course aims to equip you with the skills and experience necessary to enhance your career in the field of professional model and prop making for the feature film, TV, and animation Industries.
This is the only UK-based model making course located in a dedicated film studio environment. It has been designed to replicate Industry practices in model and prop making.
On the course, you’ll be studying in a fully-equipped workshop/studio environment. You will create work individually and collaboratively, and spend time working with students from other specialisms, such as Directing Animation, Visual Effects, Production Design, and Cinematography to make several films and practical projects throughout the year.
Our tutors are well connected in the industry and have strong relationships with leading animation, prop making, and live action companies. In previous years, our students have gained work experience at companies such as Mackinnon and Saunders, Aardman, BGI Supplies, Arch Model Studios, and Warner Brothers. Although placements are not guaranteed, we are confident that these relationships will continue into the future.
Course graduates are now successfully building their careers on feature film, animation, theatre, and TV commercial projects.
