Concept Art

The BA (Hons) Concept Art and Illustration degree teaches students to visualise the ideas that others bring to life. Its focus is characters, creatures and environments for games, film, comics and animation, with an emphasis on imagination and craft. Students develop a flair for visual storytelling through practice-based projects that mirror the work of modellers, animators and visual effects teams. The programme builds a portfolio aimed at entry into these creative industries, where ideas must be communicated clearly to other specialists. The degree is delivered full time at the Mabgate Campus and prepares graduates for careers in concept art and illustration, with the range and confidence needed to pitch original work. Graduates leave with a portfolio and a practical understanding of how their work fits into a larger production pipeline.
