    This foundation studio course will develop your understanding of creative 3D computer visualisation. It will provide you with live, hands-on experience of the key technologies and creative thinking that is required when designing 3D virtual objects. You will be introduced to the historical and contemporary developments in 3D Visualisation and Computer Generated Imagery (CGI). Practical studio workshops will explore 3D CGI workflow for a variety of digital media, 3D modelling techniques, the application of foundational art and design theoretical thinking, and the previsualisation and planning of a virtual object. The course will primarily focus on constructing virtual objects for pre-rendering screen-based output. At the end of the course you will have planned and created a 3D virtual object through the application of a series of techniques and methods, giving you an introductory experience of the field of computer modelling.

    This intermediate course within the 3D Visualisation disciplinary studio will help you explore 3D computer visualisations through the creation of a digital 3D environment. Building on the skills already acquired in the introductory course to create a 3D virtual asset in isolation, you will now create multiple assets before laying them out in a complete, fully realised virtual scene. To successfully complete this process, you will need to consider how assets engage and relate to each other and the space they inhabit. The creation of the virtual scene will be conceptually driven and supported by theoretical research. Engaging studio workshops will explore the full Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) workflow with a particular emphasis on CGI lighting, rendering techniques and clear art direction. This course will provide you with an increased ability to apply the knowledge and skills that are used in the field of computer modelling and Computer-Generated visualisation to the creation of your own 3D virtual worlds.

    This advanced course within the 3D Visualisation disciplinary studio will provide you with the opportunity to immerse yourself in the field of computer modelling and computer-generated visualisation and refine your knowledge, methods and skills. Expanding in complexity and drawing on the skills already acquired in the preceding courses, you will design and create an experiential, explorable and 3D virtual world. Scholarly research will provide an informed foundation for the creation of a sophisticated, conceptually focussed virtual environment. Engaging studio workshops will explore the full computer-generated imagery workflow with a particular emphasis on how 3D assets engage and relate to each other in a realtime platform, low-poly modelling and a high level of art direction in the creation of your own virtual world.

your abode

Hop students live in spacious, modern apartments with stunning views of both the city skyline and surrounding neighborhoods. You’re just a short walk from world-class shopping, dining, and the iconic Bondi surf. It’s the perfect mix of urban living and coastal relaxation, with easy access to public transport, making it a breeze to get to class and explore everything Sydney has to offer. Plus, the on-site amenities like a pool, gym, and 24-hour concierge service mean you'll have all the comforts of home in a prime location.

local vibes

You’ll experience everything from Sydney’s iconic landmarks to hidden gems, plus a few awesome weekend excursions. And our ‘Hop-Up’ events? Get ready to meet locals, make lifelong friends, and have some serious fun while you’re at it.

Students start their journey with a Welcome to Country led by Indigenous elder Delta Kay, gaining a deeper understanding of the cultural and spiritual significance of the Bundjalung land they will call home.

Beyond structured sessions, students kayak with dolphins, practice morning yoga, and stay at Crystalbrook Byron, a sustainability-driven hotel nestled in subtropical rainforest. The result? A mindset shift that prioritizes well-being, cultural awareness, and community from day one—helping students start their semester with a strong foundation.

Through interactive sessions with experts like Tim Jack Adams (wellness strategist) and Dr. Jodie Bradman (clinical psychologist), students explore resilience, stress management, and personal well-being strategies to navigate the challenges of studying abroad.

Renowned wellness chef Samantha Gowing leads a hands-on workshop on food as medicine, teaching students how to fuel their bodies on a budget while embracing Australia’s vibrant food culture.

Gabby

University of Florida

“Studying abroad with Hop has truly been the best decision I have ever made. In a short amount of time, I have explored the lively rainforests and the shimmering Great Barrier Reef. I've climbed mountains, sat at the edge of waterfalls, and even surfed the waves of the Gold Coast. I've met so many new friends from different backgrounds who unite on the same goal of discovering and learning, and I couldn’t have done that without Hop.”
