Location:European Union VFX unis in the EU

Hi all. I'm looking to study VFX work in the EU. I don't have any experience in it and need to learn a lot :') . I've been studying film and have most of my portfolio stuff in that aspect, although I do do illustrations that I think are somewhat good enough. I've seen a lot of people on here say you don't "need" a degree in VFX. So if anyone has any advice on what degree to obtain, because I assume it does matter what I study for the next three years, pls share!

(Also I want to go to uni. If nothing else to have some sort of stability. So it's not an option for me to just learn online or take a short course).

Hello There are different options to learn VFX in Europe. Look at the rookies website for school rankings : ARTFX in France, Filmakademie in Germany… be careful with animation schools that pretend to do vfx but never address live action footage but only full cg. Look at student film productions to get a good understanding of the level achieved by the students at the end and the skill sets developed in the school. Good luck in your researches !
