Course Summary

This qualification is aimed at 16 to 18-year-old students who are in a full-time Level 3 education programme and who wish to pursue a career in the video games industry by studying the core principles of video game art, game design, animation and digital media.

While centred on video games, the content is suitable for other creative media roles in which gaming techniques are applied more generally, including e-learning, visualisation and product design, visual effects and web design.

This qualification will give you a solid foundation in understanding how the games industry works, provide you with the essential drawing skills required by any games artist, and equip you with 3D art skills and a working understanding of what a games engine is and how it functions.

The qualification could also be taken alongside a Level 3 Maths qualification or an Extended Certificate in Digital Media.
