3D Computer Games Design
Entry requirements
- A 2:2 or above undergraduate qualification (or equivalent).
- An IELTS score of a minimum of 6.0 is required for international students.
We also have a portfolio entrance requirement:
For 3D artists we’d ideally like to see a high–low poly workflow, 3D sculpting, unwrapping, texturing and the use of a games engine to display assets. We’re lenient about this as some of our best graduates have come from non-games degrees such as architectural rendering or animation or had gaps in their portfolio, so feel free to get in touch!
For designers, we’d ideally like to see an example of level designs, videos/demos of small games and examples of visual /c# scripting. We understand that you may not have used Unreal Engine and are lenient to those who come with other Game Engine experience.
