Course Overview

Whether you want to draw stories for graphic novels and comics or create concept art for films or games, our BA (Hons) Comic & Concept Arts degree will get you on the right track. This degree is all about preparing you for the vital role that comic and concept artists play in animation, film, games, comics, and other media. Your imagination and drawing skills will combine to visualize directors' ideas on paper and screen, building your problem-solving skills as you create new and exciting designs. This course focuses on the pre-production process and will involve designing assets including characters, creatures, environments, key art illustrations, splash art, weapons, and props. You'll explore these creative briefs through traditional art methods, as well as using digital art tools such as Photoshop, Maya, ZBrush, and After Effects. You have the option to complete a Professional Practice Year as part of this course. This will allow you to develop your professional, academic and personal potential, equipping you to be confident and engaged in creative workplaces. Employers widely recognize these qualities, and a significant proportion of placement students are offered graduate-level jobs or go on postgraduate study.
