The UK consumer games market was worth a record figure of £7.82bn in 2023 (source: Ukie, 2024). Games skills can also be applied to other industries, including VFX, virtual production, architecture, real-time immersive media (theme parks and entertainment) or even the medical and engineering professions. The career perspectives are endless. Take your skillset to the next level with our MA Game Art degree. The course starts with intensive hands-on training, then you’ll complete two major projects that will allow you to put everything you’ve learned into practice to create a killer portfolio. A collaborative group project will get you working with other students like a real studio, and an individual final project will be your chance to further specialise, improve your skills and finesse your portfolio, under the guidance of industry professionals and tutors. You’ll create lifelong connections and start building your network. Our studio partners, industry-trained tutors, Talent Development Team support and Aftercare programme will set you in the right direction for a successful career in video games.
