What does studying live online at Escape Studios mean?

When you apply to study a postgraduate or short course at Escape Studios, for most courses, you are presented with two options: On campus or live online.  

While studying on campus is self-explanatory, what does it mean when you apply to study live online? Whether you are dreaming about becoming a VFX Artist, Animator or Game Artist, studying live online at Escape Studios may for some be the most flexible and immersive way to master your craft from anywhere in the world.  

Let’s break down what studying live online means and how it compares to on campus learning.  

Live interaction from the comfort of your home 

When you choose to study live online at Escape Studios, you get to experience the same course as the on campus students, from the comfort of your home. This includes online access to the same industry-experienced tutors and studio assistants*, just as you would in a studio on campus. Live online at Escape Studios does not mean you will be watching pre-recorded sessions, as our live online classes allow for real-time interactions as the class is being taught. 

This setup allows for the same energy and interactions of a physical classroom, with the additional benefit of convenience and accessibility. It brings the best of both worlds together – the flexibility of online learning and the interactions of a real-time environment.  

Structured learning with industry standard software 

Our mantra at Escape Studios has always been to provide the industry with studio ready talent. To do that, live online courses provide the same, professional hands-on learning experience like in an on campus setting. When studying live online, you will be working with the same industry standard software, just as if you were on campus, ensuring you are prepared for real world workflows.  

Live online classes are taking place the same time as the on campus classes, providing a clear structured learning environment, making it easy to incorporate into your daily routine, no matter your location. One of the biggest benefits of studying live online is the flexibility it provides; being able to join from your home, a café or even another country.  

Help and support while studying live online 

The creative industries are a fast-paced, modern industry, and remote work reflects the real-life setups of many studios today. Studying live online may not only teach you the skills needed for your chosen career, but also how to operate within a digital, remote, and globalised workforce.  

Studying live online is the perfect choice for anyone looking to gain practical, industry relevant skills in animation, visual effects, games, motion graphics and concept art – all while balancing life’s other commitments. 

*Postgraduate and short courses with more than 6 students, as well as undergraduate classes with over 17 students, will have a Studio Assistant assigned to offer extra support to both the tutor and students.
