UCAS Applications for Sept 2024 Now Open

UCAS - deadline 31 January 2024
UCAS applications for Escape Studios for September 2024 are now open - the deadline to apply to study with us next academic year is January 31st 2024.  

If you are thinking of applying to Escape Studios to study the Art of 3D Animation, Games or Visual effects, it's time to get your application in through UCAS. 

UCAS
The UCAS deadline for Escape Studios is 31 January 2023. We are now welcoming applications for the sixth intake of our integrated BA/MArt in Animation, Games and VFX, and also our new Bsc MSci technical courses

Apply Early
Don't wait to apply - early applications will be first to be interviewed, and will be first in line. One of the most common questions I get asked by prospective students is this: "Should I wait to apply to Escape Studios until I have finished my portfolio?"  The answer is no - get your UCAS application in promptly, and then worry about your portfolio later.  You will still have plenty of time to pull your portfolio together.




UCAS Deadline 31 January 2024
The official UCAS deadline is 31 January 2024, but it's a good idea to get yours in early.  Applying early is a good thing; it shows us you have drive and commitment, and that you are well-organised - all good qualities for a career in the creative industries.

Soho, home to the UK's animation and VFX industry, is just a ten minute walk from our Holborn campus.

We have extensive connections to industry including Framestore, Cinesite, MPC and other visual effects houses in London - and many studios overseas.

Take a look at past video compilations showcasing some of the work done by our students, and student demo reels.



Finding work
We make strenuous efforts to help our students find work.  The key first step to finding work in the creative industries is to cut a great demo reel. Visit the Escape Studios YouTube channel to see some of the many excellent demo reels put together by our graduates.


Finance
There is a well-established system of low-interest government loans in place, and in addition some scholarships and bursaries are available here. You can read our handy guide to the system here. 

Getting Ready
Here is a list of useful books to get you started. Number one is The Animator's Survival Kit - every student should have a copy. Also, check out the week 1 videos at Animation Apprentice, which are a great introduction to the art of animation. They are all free.

Better yet, come and visit us at one of our Open Days, Experience Days or Taster Days - and see for yourself.
