Building upon our Foundation degree in Digital Arts Practice this course provides you with an additional year of research and investigation to mature and develop your area of practice within games art, contemporary arts practice and multimedia design to a higher professional level. UoH also promotes continued industrial involvement. You’ll gain valuable practical, theoretical and vocational experience in the application of digital art technologies toward a range of exciting and creative outcomes. You’ll utilise web applications, moving image, digital drawing and modelling, digital animation and motion graphics for both the commercial and non-commercial creative industries.

The overall aim is to enable you to adopt a role within the area of digital arts practice upon graduation.

Entry requirements for all awards within the course fall within the regulations of the University of Huddersfield and the School of Art, Design and Architecture.

• Entry to the course is dependent on the applicant being able to demonstrate the potential to succeed and obtain an award. While we expect that the majority of students joining the course will have completed the Foundation degree in Multimedia/Games Design, entry may also be directly onto the BA(Hons) course or through Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL).

The course is divided into three areas: Studio Practice, Contextual Studies and Professional Practice. You will undertake modules which will include the following:

• Studio Practice 3 - You will choose your area of interest and undertake preliminary investigations into your chosen topic from which you may investigate and develop a range of prototypes.
• Context 3 Dissertation - This involves a written exploration of your chosen subject area relevant to the production of a major project.
• Professional Practice 3 - Here you will take your prototypes and research that you developed in Studio Practice 3 and bring them to a logical and creative conclusion in the form of a major finished outcome.
• Professional Practice 3 Special Studies - The outcome here is a technical report and evaluation that explores your progress and the related technologies and methodologies used.
