Games Art, BA Hons FullTime

The course teaches you a lot about going into industry, what to expect, workflow etc which is great, but if your looking for them to teach you about actual drawing/artwork we received none of that, very much was “here’s the project now go do it”, so there wasn’t really any ways they taught you have to improve your artwork, techniques etc. which is disappointing. Overall, o did enjoy the course, the friends I made and I guess it forced me to improve my art myself along the way, teachers are very nice and down to earth.

The hands-on time and care put into the courses is unbelievable. All tutors have their doors open for any type of question/advice, and put so much effort into organising their courses. Any kind of computer programming degree will generally place you in a highly demanded position, such as Software Engineering, where we covered enough material to become a junior full-stack developer, spending time on various languages on front and back-end. Personally, I didn't depend on my tutor meetings, and there was rarely anything to discuss, however other students valued their meetings for the personal and course advice. read more
