Effects can be completely digital, use a combination of digital and live actors or consist of tangible materials such as wires, explosives, costumes, props, prosthetics and make-up.

A foundation year will prepare students to complete their more advanced degree curriculum. With required courses, students get a good idea of what life will be like when they are accepted into their degree program and begin to pursue their dreams.
