This programme teaches you to build systems and logic for games and interactive experiences. You will design and develop 3D productions with a focus on user experience. The programme is more technically focused than our other 3D programmes and includes tasks such as making objects respond to player actions, such as opening a door when the player presses a button.
You will use software such as Unreal Engine and VR technology, as well as learning procedural programming techniques. When you graduate, you will have a strong portfolio to help you land your dream job
? According to Finn.no, a 3D designer in Norway can expect an annual salary of around 830,000 NOK.
The first year of this two-year programme is the same as the one-year programme in 3D Design and Games Technology. However, you can apply directly to this two-year programme and secure your place for two years.
After studying 3D Design and Game Technology - Interactive, you can pursue careers such as:
In the first year, you will learn to plan 3D projects and build, colour and light simple 3D models. Eventually, you'll be able to create and deliver advanced 3D products while developing systems to animate objects. You'll also receive a thorough introduction to game technology, content production and professional working practices.
In the second year, you'll choose a direction in which to specialise, with guidance from subject tutors. You have the opportunity to specialise in many different areas, such as game designer, level designer, virtual or augmented reality, special effects for games or 3D generalist. The programme ends with a capstone project and a portfolio that you can use to present yourself on the job market.
