BSc (Hons) Digital Media Development: 3D Environments (Game and Heritage)
3D environments are what make virtual reality the powerful immersive experience it is. Whether it be a fantasy landscape that opens up inside someone’s living room or a past world brought to life in a museum, taking an initial vision and seeing it through to a complete 3D environment makes you, literally, a creator of new worlds.
Our Digital Media Development: 3D Environments course offers you the chance to become a developer of these virtual worlds for the growing gaming, heritage and education industries. And with an open mind and powerful tools at your disposal there has never been a more exciting time to study this rich and interactive area of design and creative technology.
The hub of the three-year course is our superbly equipped, hi-tech Digital Design Studio where you focus on creating 3D environments in Unreal and/or Unity software for virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). You also build confidence in creating, modelling and showing new ideas within a production team and gain industry-relevant experience working on live projects for real clients.
