TCE Computer Graphics & Design Level 2 or Level 3

What will I learn?

Computer Graphics and Design enables students to work within a contemporary design context, creating content in, and for, a digital environment, across a range of specialised areas. The course can be studied at either a level 3 or level 2 standard with the level 3 course featuring an external exam in addition to an externally assessed project. 

The course uses a mix of 2D and 3D software to teach students about content visualisation and creation. It is suitable for students who wish to communicate graphically using technology. 

Students will use design principles, processes and practice to explore the diverse range of possibilities available for designing and creating visual content in the digital world that has a function and purpose. They will have the opportunity to extend and apply their understanding of these processes by undertaking an extended design project and content area study. 

The course has three components: 

• Contemporary Design in Computer Graphics 
• Computer Graphics and Digital Content Areas 
• Major Research Project (Extended Design Project)
