Animation and Games

About this course

Animation and games are two of the most creatively demanding and technically sophisticated fields in the contemporary media landscape. Animation requires a deep understanding of movement, timing, character, and visual storytelling, whether you are working in 2D, 3D, stop motion, or motion graphics. Games development combines those visual skills with interactive design, asking you to create experiences that respond to player choices rather than simply unfold. Together they represent some of the fastest-growing areas in the creative economy, with demand for skilled practitioners across entertainment, advertising, education, and interactive media. At Arts University Plymouth, this four-year full-time programme allows students entering without formal qualifications or returning to education after a break to begin with an exploratory first year before committing to specialisation.
