Overview

Ireland’s audio-visual sector is a fast-growing industry. Animation, Games, Film and Advertising have been identified as key areas of growth by the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation. Screen Skills Ireland noted that the animation sector has quadrupled in size in the last decade. Likewise, the Irish gaming sector is seeing a growth in both international and local gaming companies. The Irish screen sector has shown that there is a call for graduates with skills as 2D Artists, 3D Modellers, Technical Directors, Storyboard Artists and Compositors. Emerging creative sectors such as graphics, film and animation, web interface and ICT design are where future growth, exports and job creation are expected to be greatest. Digital games are similarly recognised as one of the areas with real growth potential with opportunities such as mobile applications and digital games. The three-year BA (Hons) in Animation and Games Design is aimed at those who wish to secure employment in the Games and/or Animation industry, and those who wish to design and produce their own animated films or video games. The Animation and Game Design programme has been delivered since 2016 as a major pathway on the BA (Hons) in Design. It has been very successful, with excellent feedback from the students, graduates and industry. At the end of Year 1, students in the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Animation and Game Design at ATU Galway will choose their preferred pathway: Animation or Game Design. In Years 2 and 3, pathway-specific modules are labelled as “Elective,” while “Mandatory” modules remain common to both pathways, ensuring a strong development of technical skills for all students.
