This programme provides the skills required for work in animation, 3D modelling, visual effects, visualisation, and computer games. It will also encourage you to specialise in a chosen area and stretch your technical and artistic abilities.

UWS graduates will be able to work within a number of areas such as computer games, animated films and video, visual effects, and architectural visualisation. Not all graduates go onto work in animation; some will work in other areas of media and digital design. With increasing power in smartphones and tablets, 3D is finding greater use in mobile games and in user interface design. The skills developed during the degree will be useful in any of these related disciplines. Students have gone on to work at Axis Animation, MPC, Wireframe 3D, Soluis, Rockstar North, Lupus, BBC, STV, Mental Ltd., Tag Games, Codemasters, Firebrand Games, and other award-winning studios. Graduates have also set up their own companies.
