Program details

Overview

This course develops the artistic skills needed for polished game projects. Students focus on character production, environmental design, 3D software and game engines, building a professional art portfolio. Students manage their own game projects in a dedicated design studio and studio suite, with projects and portfolio work at the centre of assessment. A dissertation and an optional mentorship module with undergraduate students extend their research and employability skills. Close industry engagement, guest speakers and social events connect graduates with the games sector. Students consider how visual design choices shape player experience, and they test these ideas through production work that feeds directly into their portfolio. Graduates leave with artwork that demonstrates both technical skill and an understanding of how games are made by teams.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Honours degree of at least 2:2 in a Games, Arts & Design or Computer Science related subject, or an equivalent science-based degree with a strong creative digital element. Applicants with substantial commercial or industrial experience, or non-computing backgrounds, may be accepted subject to interview and references.
