Creating whole new worlds and characters is the focus of our BA (Hons) Games Arts course at UCA Farnham. On this practice-based games degree, you’ll develop the skills to become a true team player who is all set for a career in the gaming industry. This course, which is accredited by The Rookies, will equip you with the tools you need to become a skilled games artist, as well as developing your ability to work with others to produce games collaboratively in a way that replicates industry practice. You’ll develop your skills using world-class facilities, with high-end hardware and the latest software such as Autodesk Maya, Substance, Quixel Suite, Zbrush, Marvelous Designer, Marmoset Toolbag and games engines such as Unity and Unreal. You’ll also benefit from opportunities to collaborate with students on our Games Technology course, and make the most of our exceptional industry links to brands like Rebellion, SEGA, Creative Assembly and SuperMassive Games. When you complete the course, you’ll be ready to launch a career in the industry. Past graduates have gone on to work for AAA, iii and indie games companies in the UK and beyond.

In Year 1 you'll learn the key art skills and software knowledge needed to communicate ideas and create tangible art assets in the context of entertainment design and games development. You'll explore observational drawing practice and 3D art production, as well as game concepts, design and programming. In Year 2 you'll investigate the historical, theoretical and aesthetic dimensions of gaming practice. Working in a studio environment centred around industry roles, you’ll produce a ‘Vertical Slice’ for an original game prototype. You'll also construct an AAA studio style prop based on a photograph or concept of your choosing. In Year 3 you'll undertake self-directed pre-production of an individual or group project, and produce a dissertation relating to the contextual and/or theoretical concerns of your chosen area of practice.
