  • About the Course

    You will work in our amazing multimedia suites, gaining experience in 3D modelling, rigging, level design, asset and character development, and introductory programming.

    You will use industry-standard software including Maya, Mudbox, Unity, After Effects, and Photoshop.

    We believe that students need to be engaged in every aspect of this subject and foster imaginative skills to feedback on their design work - and we also want the course to be fun!

    The course is taught by industry professional animation and games design lecturers.

    You will study:

    • Visual recording in art and design
    • Materials, techniques, and processes in art and design
    • Ideas and concepts in art and design
    • Communication through art and design
    • Contextual influences in art and design
    • Image manipulation using computer applications
    • Typefaces and letter forms
    • 3D animation
    • 2D animation production
    • Computer game engines

     

    In the second year, you will work on your own projects, developing games elements and animated sequences.

    This flexible approach builds a solid foundation for further study or employment, while enabling you to develop a specialised programme of study according to your own interests.

    Your student learning adviser will guide and support you throughout your course and in the second year you will receive guidance for university applications.

    This course leads to a UAL Diploma in Year 1 followed by a UAL Extended Diploma in Year 2.
