The Double Degree in VFX, Filmmaking, and Film Post-Production is designed to train a new generation of VFX artists. Professionals capable of understanding the complete process of a production, from developing an idea and shooting to integrating visual effects, digital composition, and the final delivery of a film, series, or advertising production.

The audiovisual industry is undergoing an unprecedented transformation.

Visual effects, virtual production, and new technologies are redefining the way cinema and audiovisual content are created. However, the true value still lies not in the tools but in the people who can use them judiciously.

Studios are no longer seeking just specialists who master software. They are looking for versatile professionals with a solid film education, a global vision of production, and the ability to understand how each creative and technical decision influences the final outcome of a work.

Throughout the program, students develop a deep understanding of cinematic language, visual narrative, photography, directing, production, lighting, and post-production. This comprehensive view enables them to collaborate with all departments on a shoot, anticipate the challenges of each project, and make decisions with artistic and technical judgment.

Artificial Intelligence applied to VFX is already transforming the way images are created, processes optimized, and workflows accelerated in the audiovisual industry. In this degree, you will learn to use AI for VFX as a tool in service of creativity. Its true potential is only realized when supported by a solid film education, a broad understanding of audiovisual production, artistic sensibility, and aesthetic judgment, skills you will develop throughout the program. Technology is constantly evolving, but professional judgment is what turns a generated image into one with genuine cinematic quality.

Because the future of cinema will belong to those who can combine creativity, art, and technology with judgment

The result:
a quality reel,
an open door to
the professional world.

Frequently Asked Questions

What level of prior knowledge do I need to enter the Degree?

The degree is designed to start from scratch. You do not need previous experience with 3D software or specific technical knowledge.

Throughout the training, you will be guided step by step in each tool, combining theory, practice, and real projects so that you can progressively develop your skills.

In addition, the Degree includes modules on critical thinking, self-assessment, and interpersonal skills, which are essential for successful integration into creative work environments.

Is this degree more artistic or technical?

The degree combines both the artistic and technical focus because in the professional 3D and video game industry, both profiles are necessary and complementary.

Artistic: You will learn to design characters, environments, and 3D animation or VFX scenes with aesthetic sense, visual narrative, and your own style.
Technical: You will master professional tools such as Maya, ZBrush, Nuke, Unreal Engine, and Houdini, and you will learn to solve production problems: optimization, simulations, rendering, VFX integration, and basic programming in engines.

The goal is for you to finish with a comprehensive training, capable of adapting to different roles within a studio or project, whether as a visual artist, 3D technician, or generalist.

The methodology is based on practical learning and project-based learning (learning by doing), replicating the real workflow of the industry.

From day one, you will work with professional software, facing creative and technical challenges that will allow you to apply what you have learned immediately. Each module is designed for you to develop specific skills (modeling, animation, texturing, VFX, etc.), and at the end of each one, you will deliver a project that will be part of your portfolio.

In addition, we integrate:

In-person classes and practical workshops guided by active professionals.
Continuous evaluation based on your submissions, participation, and progress.
Personalized feedback to improve both the final result and the creative process.
Teamwork, simulating real production environments.
Technical and creative support, with tutoring and individual follow-up.

The priority is for you to learn by doing, understanding mistakes as part of the creative process, and being prepared to integrate into a studio or start your own projects.

Are there professional internships in companies or studios?

Yes. During the last year of the degree, you will be able to access the Professional Training, a period of curricular internships in studios or companies in the sector, designed to make the real leap into the working world.

This training is tailored to your professional specialization and allows you to:

Integrate into a real production environment.
