I am fifteen now, in Belgium, I'm extremely interested in 3D art. So much that I would love to do it for a living. If I wanted, could I, after finishing high school. Come to VFS straightaway? Or would I need a degree of some sort? English is also not my native language as you will probably notice in the way I write. I'm wondering if that is a problem at all. Another wuestion of mine was if you had a course in particles and fluid effects as that is what I am most interested in. Regards, Ziggy.

@ZiggyFX Hi! That is great that you are interested in 3D. In answer to your first question, yes you would be able to join VFS right after high school. Our minimum requirement is that students either be 19 years old, or have completed high school. There is a minimum English language requirement, but you do not have to be a native speaker. You can find more information on that at vfs(dot)com/admission under "Application Requirements".

@ZiggyFX To answer your last question, you can find more information on what is offered in our 3D Animation & Visual Effects program at vfs(dot)com/3D. We would also recommend getting in contact with one of our Admissions Advisors as you get closer to applying. They can answer all sorts of questions about the language requirements and program specifics. They can be reached online at vfs(dot)com/startnow. Thanks!

What do you need to get into VFS?

Like the cost, perquisites, age, experience, prior knowledge?

[VancouverFilmSchool]

@luckyazian13 You can find a lot of that information on our website at vfs(dot)com/admissions. Cost and prerequisites will vary by program, but the minimum age to enroll in a full time program at VFS is 19, or after finishing high school. Prior knowledge will also depend a little on which program you are interested in, but we have had students come to VFS with a variety of backgrounds - some are just getting started on their careers, while others come with more experience. Thanks!
