Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Animation and Games (Extended Degree)

In Arts University Plymouth’s state-of-the-art multimedia studio environment, students can explore the full range of the drawing, modelling, editing, rendering, and scripting techniques, giving them an unrivalled opportunity to take a multi-faceted view of the animation and games world.

Working within the creative incubator of Arts University Plymouth’s School of Arts + Media, students will not only gain knowledge of the latest software used in the creative industry and develop collaborative skills across disciplines, but they will also be encouraged to develop as an emerging artist-designer with their own unique creative voice. They will have the opportunity to work alongside students from Arts University Plymouth’s award-winning Film & Screen Arts course and Film Studies, as well as collaborating with Animation and Games peers in interdisciplinary projects.

The animation and games studio facilities are fully equipped with industry-standard hardware and software such as Unreal Engine, Substance Painter, Toon Boom, 3D Studio Max, Maya, Marmoset Toolbag, Z-Brush and Adobe Master Suite. Students will have their own high-spec, cloud-render enabled workstation with drawing monitors, as well as access to VR devices, cintiqs, a stop-motion studio, green screen studio and a state-of-the-art 3D printing and scanning studio.
