Course summary
With a passion for both games and art, you'll thrive on our 3D game art course, where you'll craft 3D art for various purposes and areas. You'll be supported by an industry-focused curriculum that could lead to a successful career in the expanding games industry. Join our proud tradition of originality and quality. By the end of the course, you'll not only be playing a game you've developed but following in the footsteps of UEL graduates who've left their mark in the gaming world. Dive into the world of 3D game art in your first year. Explore core game development areas, develop 3D modelling and sculpting skills, and master texturing and material creation within the 3D game art pipeline. Specialise in character and environment creation in your second year. Gain hands-on experience through simulated studio environments, work as a multidisciplinary team, and improve your online presence for future career opportunities. This phase will help you refine your craft and prepare you for the professional 3D game art industry. In your final year, experiment and explore your chosen field while studying technical 3D game art, including scripting language use. Finish your journey by polishing (refining and improving) a medium-scale game project, developing a personal portfolio, and preparing to enter the 3D game art industry.
