Course summary
Be it beautiful games such as Horizon Zero Dawn or hyper stylised games such as Hades, this is your opportunity to learn to create your own 3D art within a game development environment. You'll get the most out of our course if you come with an interest in all kinds of games and art as you will explore, design, and create 3D art for multiple different purposes and areas. This programme is created with industry focused direction and allows you to work towards a specialism within the 3D game art field. Our course will equip you, like many of our successful graduates, for a role in the expanding games' industry. We're justly proud of the originality and quality of our students' work. By the end of your course, you should be playing a game you developed yourself - and hopefully following in the footsteps of the many UEL graduates now making their mark in the games' industry. You can also take this course with a foundation year (FY), which means it will take you four years to complete the course full-time.
