Design of Visual Effects and Animation (SOK)

Upon completion of the PMS SOK students will be able to document and participate with a specific creative role in working groups creating visual effects.

Upon completion of their studies, students will have acquired specialized knowledge to:

• leverage new technology tools to create animation visual effects.
• delve into the history of visual effects through the course of cinema.
• use various software and digital tools to create 2D and 3D special effects models.
• design and control the movement in an animation project.
• include in the production file for financing, the visual effects of the moving image.

The Post-Graduate Programme accepts applicants holding an academic higher education degree in a related subject, or of other subjects, provided that they also submit a formal Declaration of the candidate stating: “I hereby declare that I possess the necessary level of knowledge of the subjects covered in the Study Programme……. and I am able to meet its requirements.”  

The programme is offered in Greek. 

The knowledge of a foreign language and good computer-Internet skills would be useful for the successful participation in the programme.

Note:

Holders of a degree or diploma of higher education means graduates of Greek Universities or Polytechnics or Higher School of Fine Arts or Higher School of Pedagogical and Technological Education or Higher Technological Educational Institutions (ATEI) or those who hold academically equivalent first cycle degrees from recognized foreign educational institutions with the degrees awarded by the Greek Higher Educational Institutions, in accordance with the provisions of article 304 of Law No. 4957/2022 (Government Gazette 141/21.07.2022, vol.)

Clarification regarding foreign academic institutions

When evaluating an application to a Postgraduate Study Programme, the University will examine whether the candidate’s institution of study is included, or is eligible to be included, in the National Registry of Recognized Foreign Higher Education Institutions, and whether the candidate’s degree is included, or is eligible to be included, in the National Registry of Degree Types Awarded by Recognized Foreign Institutions. If the degree is listed under Article 307 of Law 4957/2022, the Hellenic Open University is required to request a “Certificate of Place of Study”, which must be issued and sent directly by the foreign university. If the certificate confirms that the place of study, or any part of the studies, took place within Greek territory, the degree cannot be recognized—unless the portion of studies completed in Greece was carried out at a public Higher Education Institution or at a recognized foreign educational institution, as defined in point (b) of Article 299 of Law 4957/2022.
