As someone who got the degree, I don't think it's that bad. Granted I suck at this and my grades were abysmal, plus I flunked the drawing and composition (life art and stuff) module, which was pretty stupid of me, but the course in itself isn't that bad as long as you work hard and do your own work plus the university…
I went to southampton solent university just up the road - Computer and Videogames is the course. I found it really good, especially as they really focus on things like life drawing and 2d work before stepping into 3d. Anyway it helped me and many others get jobs in the industry, so check it out :) Dont have much info on…
