Creative Technology


If you’re creative and enjoy both art and technology, then we think you’ll love our brand-new undergraduate degrees in Character Creation, Games Design and Technical Art!  

We’ve designed these programmes with experts from Creative Assembly, Framestore, nDreams and Rocksteady Studio, so you’ll graduate with the technical skills that are in demand from creative organisations around the world.

According to a 2023 report by Games Jobs Live, the role of a Technical Artist is the most sought-after in the industry!

Check out the video below to hear from Framestore Technical Artists (and Escape Studios alumni!), Juriaan Van Váli and Fabrizio Bergamo, Dean/Director of Interactive and Real Time, Simon Fenton and Head of Creative Technology, Michael Davies. They highlight the growing demand for Technical Artists, the skills required to break into the industry and how you can prepare.
