The Postgraduate Diploma in Science in 3D Animation & VFX programme is designed to address the ICT skills demand for Computer Graphics for the 3D animation, visual effects, television and film industries. The growth of digital media distribution channels has seen an enormous increase in the demand for all forms of digital media. In Ireland this has resulted in the rapid expansion of the animation and visual effects sector. This has been supported by recently introduced government tax credits under section 481 an increase of funding to the Irish Film board.
