Specialized studies in visual effects (VFX)

Because our training is based on excellence and on providing students with not only the technical knowledge necessary for their profession, in the final year, a company internship is carried out to put into practice the knowledge learned within a real production flow. This training is mandatory and students will be selected by the companies that the school has within its professional portfolio.

Our students have undertaken training in companies such as El Ranchito, Deluxe, Entropy Studio, Digital Legends, The game forge, Scarecrow studio, B · Water Studios and Music has no limits, among others.

The reception and accompaniment program for newly incorporated national and international students.

When starting training at FX, students face a double academic and social challenge: they leave their city or school and even their groups of friends to start a new life and study experience at FX ANIMATION.

The FX Family Program aims to actively integrate the student at school and in Barcelona, helping them to feel accompanied and participate in academic life from day one. As an inclusive school, the program is aimed at all students without distinguishing between any of them and respecting the individual needs of each one, at all times.

At FX, we are one big family and we strive for students, teachers and non-teaching staff to feel at home at FX. This meeting point with students strengthens coexistence, communication and knowledge exchange between the different training areas of the school. Integration and the feeling of belonging influence motivation and strong academic performance. Our program is totally free and available to all students from all backgrounds.

One of the programs that enriches and multiplies the added value of FX ANIMATION training: learning through experience, leaving the classroom, leaving a controlled and protected environment, and facing the real world. Through this program, the student is given the opportunity to develop communication, personal and interpersonal skills.

The objective is to integrate and relate the student to the work environment of the entertainment and audiovisual sector. Through their participation in cross-cutting projects, company internships and volunteering, the professional skills most valued by producers and companies are promoted. With this program we ensure that our students, in addition to being excellent technicians, become excellent professionals.
