Animation and games design courses offer students a range of opportunities to be exposed to, and develop their skills in, subjects such as computer coding, computer programming, broad IT skills, simulation and modelling, computer-based 2D and 3D, interactive information design, and virtual environments, to name but a few.

Below is a list of some undergraduate degrees offered at Victorian Universities and a few Private Institutions.
