Our courses are informed by research and current developments in the discipline and feedback from students, external examiners and employers. Modules do therefore change periodically in the interests of keeping the course relevant and reflecting best practice. The most up-to-date information will be available to you once you have accepted a place and registered for the course. If there are insufficient numbers of students interested in an optional module, this might not be offered, but we will advise you as soon as possible and help you choose an alternative.
Specific options will depend on whether students are major, joint honours or minor and the credits taken in subjects at Year 2.
Joint Hons will take Pre-Production Practice and up to 30 credits from Animation Options. From Game Art, you will choose either Group Game Development Project or Game Art Individual Portfolio Project as a minimum, with further options.
Discover our full range of joint degrees and read about how your degree will be structured.
