The BA (Hons) Games Art at Nottingham Trent University is designed for aspiring artists who are captivated by the visual worlds of video games, from immersive environments to imaginative characters. You will develop your creative and artistic skills, focusing on the principles of screen arts, digital drawing, painting, and 3D modelling. This course delves into the history and theory of games, equipping you with the contextual knowledge to understand the broader impact of electronic gaming. You will learn to harness industry-standard digital tools to bring your visual imagination to life, preparing you for a dynamic career in the games industry.
Studied full-time on campus over three years, your learning experience will be hands-on and collaborative. You will engage in projects that build your 2D and 3D digital art skills, including character and environment art, and potentially work alongside games design students on industry-partner briefs in your second year. Your final year culminates in a significant personal project, allowing you to define your artistic identity and showcase your mastery of industry tools. You will graduate with a professional portfolio and the technical and creative expertise sought after by leading game development studios worldwide.
