Students will gain practical insights into career strategies and employment prospects.
In the placement, students will gain exposure to professional production practices and work with industry standard software tools under the supervision of experienced visual effects artists.

Students will learn while working in a simulated production environment within RSP's studio.
Students interested in the placement are required to submit a portfolio of relevant work and sit an interview. Assessment for entry is based on their portfolio, GPA and performance in the interview. The process is competitive and the places are limited.
