Course summary
Our foundation degree combines technical and artistic skills, making you highly sought after within the industry. You will devise 3D character models, get them to move around using body mechanics, and equip them with props, vehicles and weapons. Whether creating a desert, street, castle or spaceship as a backdrop, you’ll also master game environments. And to ensure your real-time animation models actually work in a games engine, you will study games design and aspects of programming too. You will be following in the footsteps of our award-winning games students, including those who’ve landed jobs with top studios. The course has been developed to meet the needs of the booming games industry. But the animation skills you learn will also be relevant to other fields, such as film and virtual production. On successful completion of study, we will issue the following award: FdSc Computer Games Design with Animation
