BA (Hons) Mobile Game Art Production

On our Mobile Game Art Production degree you’ll develop art skills relevant to the fast-moving computer games industry. You’ll gain 3D computer games skills including modelling, texturing, and animation, enabling you to create characters, environments and more.

From the very beginning of your studies at ARU Peterborough, you’ll discover how you can use your visual research, creative experimentation, and technical development skills to build a valuable portfolio and help launch your career in the mobile gaming industry when you graduate.

81% of the UK computer games industry is educated to at least undergraduate level, rising to 88% for core games production roles in art or programming.

Our Computer Science for Mobile Game Art Production degree will equip you with a range of programming skills that will help you stand out from the crowd as a graduate moving into industry. You could also consider establishing yourself as a freelance designer – or perhaps opening your own independent studio. There are so many possibilities to choose from!

At ARU Peterborough you’ll be taught by industry experts from Year 1, making connections and ensuring that you develop relevant employability skills.

Every year, ARU runs and hosts the annual Brains Eden computer games careers event which offers opportunities for professionals and students alike.

Our free Employability Service will help you take practical steps to follow your chosen career path, secure jobs, and work experience, or even start your own business.

Graduation doesn’t have to be the end of your time with us. You might decide to stay at ARU and study for a Masters. We’re planning a range of postgraduate degrees at ARU Peterborough, and there is a selection of existing courses in Cambridge and Chelmsford, including Computer Games Development (Art) MA.
