About this course
Choosing to specialise as either an artist making visual content or a designer authoring the rules and scope of an experience, this course teaches how game art and game design practices adapt to the demands of virtual reality. Working in teams bringing together a range of skills, you'll take a real-life approach as you develop the technical, design and modelling expertise and experience the industry needs. With potential VR applications ranging from games to simulations, you'll study and produce work in areas like AR, VR and MR.
Your skills will be viable across the entire extended reality (XR) spectrum - giving you the tools to create a varied portfolio of professional work, and give your career as either an immersive content artist or designer the strongest possible start.
104 - 120 UCAS points, primarily from Level 3 qualifications like A-levels, a BTEC Extended Diploma, or a Foundation Diploma.
