Undergraduate admissions

Once you've applied to study at Escape Studios on a VFX, Game Art or Computer Animation undergraduate programme, you’ll be invited to a creative workshop.

Unlike an open day, our creative workshops are specifically for applicants - you’ll be given loads of information about your course, get to take part in a fun team exercise and our academic team will be able to review your portfolio. You’ll have plenty of time to prepare and we’ll send you advice beforehand. See some handy tips for portfolios.

We genuinely want to find out more about you and your motivation for your chosen subject. We’re friendly and welcoming (we promise!) and our creative workshops are very much a two-way process. On the day, you’ll be able to ask us questions, chat to students, check out the work of some of our current students, and take a look at our awesome industry-style facilities!

Travel Bursary

At Escape Studios, we’re committed to admitting the best students regardless of their background, because of this we offer travel bursaries for students who meet our eligibility criteria.

Whilst other institutions might make you an unconditional offer based on your application, we don’t believe this is best for you in the long run.

So what do I need to do to receive an offer?
Show us you're a creative person through your portfolio and performance at the creative workshop. Talk about your inspiration, listen to others, help your team be creative and you’re on track to receive an offer. If you do this, we’ll believe that you’re the right person to come on one of our courses and do well, so you’ll get an offer from us.

So why is my offer conditional on my predicted grades?
Your predicted grades are from your teachers who know you best and are an indication of what they think you’re capable of. We match your offer condition to your predicted grades up to 120 UCAS points because we want you to achieve the best grades you can. It also shows us that you can deliver to expectations, something we’ll be asking you to do regularly. If you could get A*A*A*, then get it! You will be proud of yourself.

So work hard and prove to us that you can hit those predicted grades. It’ll be worth it!

But what if I don’t meet my predicted grades? I’m not perfect.
We know, not everything in life goes as planned. So if something goes wrong with your results and you don’t achieve your predicted grades, then we have already met you and seen your work. Get in touch and speak to us before assuming the worst. You’re more than a set of exam results to us. We’ll know you and will have talked to you about the inspiration behind your portfolio and will use that to make our decision. We may even give you a call to check everything is OK.

Our undergraduate scholarships are developed with iconic industry professionals and offer a unique opportunity to be hand-picked by some of the biggest names in the industry. You'll automatically be considered for one of our full tuition fee scholarships if you apply before the UCAS equal consideration deadline and attend and pass one of our creative workshops.

This is a unique opportunity to have 100% of your tuition fees paid for the duration of your programme (up to four years for those who applied for the integrated Masters).

Interested in our short courses?

You don't need to miss out as we also offer a range of short courses. These intensive study programmes are taught over 12 and 18 weeks, so you can apply for a visitor visa and still get a slice of the Escape experience and kick-start your career.
