No portfolio required!

Updated: 4 days ago

Starting something new can feel intimidating, especially in a creative field. Many people hesitate because they think they need a polished portfolio, a clear direction, or years of experience before they are “ready.” The Foundations in Entertainment Arts program exists to remove that barrier and make starting feel possible.

This program is the easiest way to step into Entertainment Arts. There is no portfolio requirement and no expectation that you already know what you want to specialise in. Instead, you are given time and space to explore, try different disciplines, and understand how creative work actually happens in a studio environment. It is about showing up, being curious, and learning through doing.



Foundations is not about rushing toward a final answer. It is about starting your journey with less pressure and more room to grow, giving you a solid base before moving into programs like Visual Effects, Game Development, or 3D Animation and Modelling. Sometimes the best way forward is simply being allowed to begin.
