About Computer Graphics

Graphics software is usually one part of a larger project. This means that a graphics programmer is usually a member of a team, and may find themselves working in a variety of fields and with a variety of people. For example you could:

• Work with other programmers and with artists to create a 3D computer game.
• Work with architects to create lifelike walkthroughs of future constructions.
• Work with scientists or engineers to visualise complex data or processes.
• Work with artists and effects specialists to create special effects for film or TV.
• Work with educators to create visual learning software.
• Work with medical professionals to visualise medical image data.

By combining essential Computer Science skills with a practical foundation in Design Studies and Digital Media graduates will be well equipped to work with both technical and artistic colleagues.
