BSc COMPUTER GRAPHICS IMAGING AND MULTIMEDIA
BSC COMPUTER GRAPHICS IMAGING AND MULTIMEDIA
From day one you will be immersed in a cutting edge environment, soaking up the combined expertise of research-active staff from both the School of Computing Sciences and the School of Arts, Media and American Studies.
The academics from School of Computing Sciences will teach you your computing subjects, while film, television and media subjects will be taught by the Arts, Media and American Studies team.
You’ll kick off your studies by getting hands-on experience in the essentials of computing, including computer systems, computer programming, software engineering and mathematics.
You’ll then get the opportunity to study increasingly more specialist subjects such as computer graphics, video and audio processing, movie making, digital media production, artificial intelligence and more.
It’s all brought to life in our specialist graphics lab with state of the art computers and high-end graphics cards, as well as in our motion capture laboratory. You will also be able to use our 3D printer, 3D stereoscopic monitors, humanoid robots, drones, haptic feedback devices and mainstream Virtual Reality (VR) hardware.
Thanks to our strong ties with media and entertainment companies, we are able to shape our course content and coursework projects based on current trends and real-world problems.
In your final year, your independent research project gives you the chance to study a subject you’re truly passionate about. You could look at anything from developing VR applications (such as 3D flight and vehicle simulators) and games with motion captured characters to mixed reality (MR) movie creation, augmented reality (AR) games or state of the art graphics projects with light effects (using shaders).
About
If you’re into film or sound production, graphics, arts, or media, and you aspire to push the boundaries of these fields by developing state of the art software solutions, then this course is tailor made for you.
You will gain a solid foundation in computer programming, computer graphics and software engineering. Your computing studies are then complemented by modules in movie, sound and audio production, taught at the School of Arts, Media and American Studies.
You can then put it all together in your final year project by, for example, creating a movie with computer-generated special effects.

Whilst the University will make every effort to offer the modules listed, changes may sometimes be made arising from the annual monitoring, review and update of modules. Where this activity leads to significant (but not minor) changes to programmes and their constituent modules, the University will endeavour to consult with students and others. It is also possible that the University may not be able to offer a module for reasons outside of its control, such as the illness of a member of staff. In some cases optional modules can have limited places available and so you may be asked to make additional module choices in the event you do not gain a place on your first choice. Where this is the case, the University will inform students.Assessment for Year 2

If you do not meet the academic requirements for direct entry, you may be interested in one of our Foundation Year programmes.
UEA recognises that some students take a mixture of International Baccalaureate IB or International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme IBCP study rather than the full diploma, taking Higher levels in addition to A levels and/or BTEC qualifications. At UEA we do consider a combination of qualifications for entry, provided a minimum of three qualifications are taken at a higher Level. In addition some degree programmes require specific subjects at a higher level.
Students for whom english is a foreign language
We welcome applications from students from all academic backgrounds. We require evidence of proficiency in English (including speaking, listening, reading and writing) at the following level:
-
IELTS: 6.0 overall (minimum 5.5 in any component)
We also accept a number of other English language tests. Please click here to see our full list.
If you do not meet the academic and/or English language requirements for this course, our partner INTO UEA offers guaranteed progression on to this undergraduate degree upon successful completion of a foundation programme. Depending on your interests and your qualifications you can take a variety of routes to this degree:
International Foundation in Mathematics and Actuarial Sciences
International Foundation in Physical Sciences and Engineering
INTO UEA also offer a variety of English language programmes which are designed to help you develop the English skills necessary for successful undergraduate study:
Pre-sessional English at INTO UEA
English for University Study at INTO UEA
Interviews
The majority of candidates will not be called for an interview and a decision will be made via UCAS Track.
However, for some students an interview will be requested. You may be called for an interview to help the School of Study, and you, understand if the course is the right choice for you. The interview will cover topics such as your current studies, reasons for choosing the course and your personal interests and extra-curricular activities.
Where an interview is required the Admissions Service will contact you directly to arrange a convenient time.
Gap year
We welcome applications from students who have already taken or intend to take a gap year. We believe that a year between school and university can be of substantial benefit. You are advised to indicate your reason for wishing to defer entry and to contact admissions@uea.ac.uk directly to discuss this further.
