3D Games Art

This course has a strong focus on preparing you for working in the industry through technical implementation of creative digital artwork for games. The course has been designed by current staff and industry professionals with a wide variety of professional experience in the games industry in the UK and internationally.

You have access to state-of-the-art facilities including high-specification, dual-screen computers with graphics tablets as standard as well as specialised learning spaces such as Cintiq studios, green screen and photography facilities and a motion capture studio. You also benefit from a brand-new VR development studio and drawing studios, scanners, and light boxes for more traditional art development. The course is informed by regular consultations with games studios such as Cloud Imperium Games to ensure our teaching practises are reflective of current industry trends. You also benefit from guest speakers from studios such as Ubisoft and DreamWorks.

We prepare you for a career in industry. In addition to your taught classes, we create opportunities for you to meet and network with our industry partners through events such as our ExpoSeries, which showcases student work to industry. ExpoTees is the pinnacle of the ExpoSeries with over 100 businesses from across the UK coming to the campus to meet our exceptional students, with a view to recruitment.

Many of our graduates in the games art area are working at a variety of studios including Ubisoft, Supermassive Games, Creative Assembly, Splash Damage, and Sumo Digital.
