Postgraduate and Short Course Taster Sessions

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 software taster session for programmes taught on our courses including Unreal Engine, Houdini, and Maya. 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 tutors
  • 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

Considering an undergraduate degree instead? Head to our undergraduate taster days.
