Games Arts BA (Hons) The University for the Creative Arts

Overview

The Games Arts BA (Hons) programme from The University for the Creative Arts focuses on workflows for 2D concept and 3D art for video games. You’ll develop skills in 3D modelling and texturing and connect them with your drawing skills to create pro-level games assets, like characters, environments and props which make your favourite games come to life. 

Key Features

• You'll develop drawing, painting, anatomy, and visual composition alongside 3D modelling, texturing, rigging, and engine integration. From sculpting characters in ZBrush to lighting environments in game engines, your work bridges artistic fundamentals and contemporary technical production – giving you the kind of range that pure software training can't match.

• You’ll collaborate inside a working production team of games students – making playable games alongside designers and developers. Work on the team in first year, lead the team in second year. Develop publishable titles and the confidence that when you walk into your first studio, nothing about the process surprises you.
• Specialist modules take you from environment and prop production through to character art pipelines and original IP development. By second year, you'll be creating art bibles, defining visual identities, and art-directing your own game worlds – moving you from skilled artist to creative leader.
