Games Art

This degree develops the artistic skills needed to produce the visual elements of a game, including characters, props, landscapes, creatures and vehicles. It also covers concept art and storyboarding, combining traditional artistic practice with modern creative technology. Specialist areas include 3D sculpting of characters, realistic surface texturing, hard surface modelling, shaders, lighting and effects, and implementation in a game engine. Early modules introduce asset creation and environment production, alongside foundational art study and sculpting techniques. Graduates can pursue careers as computer games artists, working on concept art, environments and character production. Study is available full-time or part-time, with a foundation year route for learners who need extra preparation before the main degree. The course suits learners who want a focused, practical route into this field.
