Program description
Degree awarded by University for the Creative Arts (UCA)
The BA (Hons) Comic & Concept Art programme explores the world of comics and concept art and provides a foundation for creating large-scale universes similar to those made by Marvel and DC. This program is designed for artists who want to work in the entertainment business, including video games, films, and television.
There is an increasing need for concept artists and storyboard specialists due to the growth of the games industry and live streaming. With the help of this curriculum, you can start a career in comics and concept art by gaining abilities in storyboarding and previsualization. By examining important ideas, historical background, and intellectual property rights, you will discover how to address particular audiences. Concept art and sequential storytelling will draw inspiration from the knowledge of modern designers and artists.
University for the Creative Arts (UCA) and Berlin School of Business and Innovation are partners. BSBI is able to offer the BA (Hons) Comic and Concept Art degree because of this cooperation.
