Our University Campus located in the heart of Madrid is full of activities, masterclasses, catwalks, contests, fairs, events, etc. to maximise students’ creativity.
Precursors in elevating design degrees to the university level, creating the first Official Degrees in Product Design, Fashion Design, Interior Design, Video Game Design and Development or Multimedia and Graphic Design.
We have numerous agreements with some of the best universities in the world of design so that our students can incorporate international and multicultural experience into their time at university.
The very typology of our degrees allows us to use a learning methodology based on real projects. We seek your excellence.
More than 2,200 agreements signed with leading companies in the sector for the professional practice of our students; advice and exchange of experiences and research.
More than 13,000 m2 of specialised facilities with the best resources and equipment used by large companies in the sector.
The Curriculum of 3D Animation, Games and Interactive Environments Cycle is structured into 2,000 hours and divided into 2 courses.
The 2-year study plan with 2,000 hours incorporates 370 hours of Workplace Training in the 2nd year. This training can also be combined with the HND in Creative Media Production by taking two additional optional subjects per year and obtaining an additional British University Degree of extraordinary value that will provide you with knowledge of Game Design and Production. Additionally, by studying the Vocational Training Cycle together with the HND, you can access the University Degree in Game Design and Development and complete it in just two more years.
During the first course you will learn in a hands-on, practical way, and with no prior knowledge, the basics of artistic drawing, which will help you to continue with the course in digital drawing, and apply this knowledge to two-dimensional animation.
You will also begin to work with a 3D environment, doing modelling, texturing and animation. Finally, you will learn the basics of programming, making 2 video games during the course.
In addition, you will start your professional insertion by creating your own portfolio. A necessary tool for demonstrating your work to any company.
