Get a flying start in the games industry! As a game artist, this is an opportunity for you to enhance your skills and build a portfolio of work to make an impact in modern video game art creation.
Use your artistic skills to help bring heroes and monsters to life and create breathtaking visual features in games.
Our MA in Games Art covers concept art, how to develop characters and environments, and how to craft vehicles, weapons and other props.
You will also explore experimental visual storytelling techniques and learn all about the importance of lighting and materials. The course enables you to focus on the area you want to specialise in for a career.
Our multi award-winning games department is one of the largest in the UK and you’ll be taught by experts with years of experience, ensuring you receive practical guidance that’s both relevant and up-to-date. You can tap into our industry links too.
On successful completion of study, we will issue the following award: MA Games Art
2:2 or above undergraduate qualification (or equivalent). We also have a portfolio entrance requirement: For 3D artists we’d ideally like to see a high–low poly workflow, 3D sculpting, unwrapping, texturing and the use of a games engine to display assets. We’re lenient about this as some of our best graduates have come from non-games degrees such as architectural rendering or animation or had gaps in their portfolio, so feel free to get in touch!
Our Games Art graduates have achieved worldwide success, including landing jobs as artists at Playground Games, Codemasters, Dovetail Games and Sumo Digital.
After completing the MA in Games Art, you’ll be equipped to work in a variety of roles, including:
You could also go on to become a games academic and teach Games Art. You will be ideally placed for further academic study at PhD level.
