Required subjects for Games Animation (with Professional Practice Year) BA Hons at University for the Creative Arts (UCA)
We consider the strength of our applicants’ portfolios as well as their grades and we therefore may make offers which are lower than our standard entry criteria of 112 tariff points. This may be to students who have faced difficulties that have affected their performance and who were expected to achieve higher results - in these cases, a strong portfolio is especially important.
We regularly admit students with a tariff much higher than our standard 112 requirement, and applicants who show potential but aren’t quite at the stage to be able to succeed on the course are offered a 4 year degree with an integrated foundation year which has a standard entry requirement of 32 tariff points.

The course is good for learning basic skills for future careers and networking. It enables you to make friends from other courses and expand your knowledge. This foundation year sometimes feels like a high school course due to too many rules. read more

I would not recommend this course to anybody. The facilities available are wonderful, however you rarely get a chance to use them. The lecturers are rude and don't provide much in terms of teaching, they offer vague feedback and differing opinions. Organisation is hideous, expect everything to be harder and more confusing than it should be. Communication between tutors, techs and students is absolutely appalling. The technical staff however are fantastic, but they are definitely underpaid for the amount of work they have to do. There's a high staff turnover. You are "challenged" but the tutors, and sometimes (most the time) it's too much! You are left totally lost with no idea what your practice is, what to do next or what art even is. The tutors just standby and watch without offering any help. It's like they want to cause breakdowns. If you have any preexisting mental health conditions please do not go here. This course will just exacerbate it all. read more
