Games Art BA (Hons) with Integrated Foundation Year
The University of Northampton’s Games Art BA (Hons) degree programme focuses on the visual side of the video game industry, including specialist areas such as concept art, UI, 3D modelling, environment and character design. You will be introduced to the key points in the creative process, from initial concepting through to the production of final assets, as well as the technical skills required to implement these into a working video game.
The Games Art programme has a collaborative group project module with our Games Design and Games Programming courses, so students on the Games Art course can work with programmers and designers to produce commercial quality games.
