M.Sc. in Media Graphics
in Animation & VFX
A 2-year TMV Master’s programme for graduates ready to go deep — advanced VFX, Houdini, Nuke, short film production, and a research dissertation. Industry-ready in 24 months.
The Industry Wants Specialists
Studios no longer hire generalists for senior roles — they hire specialists who have mastered the full pipeline. An M.Sc. signals exactly that, and the market is paying a premium for it.
Master the Full VFX Pipeline
The M.Sc. in Media Graphics in Animation & VFX is a comprehensive two-year Master’s programme from TMV (Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth) designed to develop advanced skills in Animation and VFX.
Students begin with foundational training in traditional and digital arts, 2D and 3D animation, scriptwriting, sound design, and motion graphics. The programme then advances to specialised techniques in VFX, character design, and compositing using industry-standard tools such as Houdini, Maya, and Nuke.
Practical knowledge is reinforced through an internship in Semester 3 and a final capstone project — a short film in 2D/3D animation or a full VFX shot. By graduation, students are equipped with a professional portfolio ready for senior roles in animation and VFX.
