1 Year
The course is structured through two projects across the year. Students will develop core skills in term one in Game Design, Animation, VFX and Sound Design. You will also work on components that develop your understanding of context, creative media practice and professional practice before pulling all of your skills together into two projects. Project 1 is an individual project either specialising in game design or animation. Project 2 is a shorter collaborative project. The second year of the course allows for more in-depth study into your specialist pathway. This will help you build up a holistic portfolio of evidence for assessment in the year. The course can be individually tailored to students who want to or have identified a specialist area within their chosen pathway for example specific roles within the game design industry and specific roles within the animation industry.
