Games Design with Games Art

UK University

Overview

Games Design with Games Art is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Computer Games and Animation is coursework heavy, with lab sessions each week and a substantial individual project in the final stage.
