Alumni
Our alumni (dubbed Escapees) form a vibrant, well-connected global community working throughout the animation, video games and VFX industries.
Bonded by their passion and their Escape Studios experience, they are highly-respected creative professionals who continue to socialise, network and collaborate as their individual careers grow.
You’ll find Escapees at many of the world’s top VFX and games studios, behind Oscar and BAFTA-nominated films, including Dune, No Time To Die and The Lion King, and hundreds of award-winning films, commercials and video games.
What's more, the latest UK data from the Higher Education Statistics Agency reveals Escape Studios has risen to sit within the top 6% of universities for full-time graduate employment. The data also disclosed 90% of all respondents were in full time employment or further study 15 months after finishing their studies.*

About 10% of all of our employees are Escape Studios alumni! That really speaks to the long-standing relationship we have had together and the collaborative and supportive nature of that relationship.
Escape Studios provides a unique opportunity for you to learn from real industry professionals. The courses don't just help you become a good artist, they also provide a learning environment that mimics industry practices as closely as possible and really prepares you for your transition from university to industry.
The course at Escape Studios gave me the core skills needed to become a Compositor and an in-depth knowledge of the whole VFX pipeline. Being able to participate in group projects helped me to develop technical, artistic and soft skills at the same time.
After completing my degree at Escape Studios, I’m so grateful to say that I was a part of the PlayStation team during the PS5 launch!
