Program Description
This professionally-accredited programme develops student's skills and understanding in the diverse domain of digital arts and design through stimulating subjects such as animation, media design, 3D modelling, concept development and character design. Join a progressive course that equips students with the necessary practical skills, theoretical knowledge, and creative tools they need to explore and build a digital arts and design practice. Students will lead the design and production of a range of creative content for computer games, digital illustration, concept art, animation, visual effects and much more.
Students will discover how to develop their critical and contextual understanding of the digital arts and expand their knowledge base. Additional to the menu of lectures and classes, students will have opportunities to engage with industry practitioners, attend visiting lectures, participate in masterclasses and receive project mentoring.
Abertay's open-plan studios are designed to cultivate interdisciplinary study. This means students will have the opportunity to use cutting-edge technology and entertainment production techniques as they work collaboratively with students in game design, games technology, and sound production.
Computer Arts graduates have gone on to work across the globe in computer games, film, television and animation. Several of Abertay's graduates - in partnership with other games students - have successfully set up their own games companies, publishing their creations on mobile, console and online platforms.
