Course Structure and Content

In recent years, the conceptual art, graphics and animation content of computer games has developed considerably in quality and scale. This degree provides a broad ranging and in-depth program study in the creative, artistic, design and animation skills necessary to the production of current computer games.

The first year concentrates on developing fundamental knowledge and skills in the areas of design, drawing, graphics and games 3D modelling. In the second and final years, modules include games animation, character animation, intermediate and advanced 3D modelling, texturing and lighting. Also, in the final year, students have the opportunity to work on larger computer games projects, including working with fellow artists and designers and with games programmers. This in preparation for the practical realities of the computer games industry.

Due to the specialist nature of this degree, Graduates would be expected to be chiefly focused on a career in the games industry, though generic skills provided by the course open up numerous other career paths.

Students may choose to spend a year in industry after their second year or opt to continue immediately with their final year options.

Course Structure and Content

Full time undergraduate degrees are taught over three years at the university, plus perhaps, a "sandwich" year in industry after the second year.

These are the modules you could expect to study on this course. The modules you can choose in your Second and Final years will depend on those you have studied in preceeding years. Also, some second and final year modules may be changed or restructured in order to keep the course up to date with latest trends in the industry.
