BSc Digital Technologies for Animation, Games Immersion

The BSc Digital Technologies for Animation, Games & Immersion (and Sandwich) at the University of Hertfordshire is an undergraduate degree focused on digital production, interactive media, and immersive technologies. The course focuses on animation, game technologies, virtual environments, and immersive experiences. Learning is based on practical production supported by technical understanding. At the start of the course, students develop core digital skills. These include digital design principles, programming basics, 3D modelling, and interactive media foundations. As the study progresses, students delve into more advanced topics.

The sandwich placement year takes place in the third year of the course. During this year, students work in a digital, creative, or technology-based job. This work experience helps students use what they have learned in real industry settings. In the final year, students study advanced modules and complete a large final project. This project allows students to work independently in areas such as animation, games, or immersive media. It shows their creativity, technical skills, and understanding of professional work. Teaching combines lectures, studio sessions, workshops, and independent project work. Assessment is carried out through coursework, digital portfolios, and practical projects.
