Course description
Introduction
Graduates with degrees in three-dimensional design, including Product Design, Architecture, 3D Games Design and Animation, can explore the impact of emerging technologies on the design process and the production of objects or spaces.
Taught over 45 weeks the course covers advanced animation, generative 3D modelling and real-time graphics. Complex forms will be visualised, simulated and tested on screen. The course will also explore the latest developments in rapid prototyping and the direct digital manufacture of objects.
Places may be made available to candidates from design disciplines outside the 3D area providing they are able to demonstrate aptitude and ability to cope with learning advanced 3D software skills.
A number of bursaries including fees and financial support are available.
