Cinematic and Videogame Architecture MArch

UCL (University College London)

The Cinematic and Videogame Architecture MArch postgraduate degree offers students the opportunity to design innovative projects at the convergence of architecture, film and videogames. The Cinematic and Videogame Architecture MArch prepares students for the emerging futures of architectural design, developing skills also applicable to the film, videogame, and immersive environments industries. Supported by a world-leading team of tutors and visiting industry figures, students will learn innovative design techniques using film, animation and game engine software, becoming architectural storytellers and worldbuilders who address contemporary global challenges while forging new blueprints for the future. Students will develop their own creative practice through design projects and historical and theoretical essay writing, culminating in the production of a final project that demonstrates unique research methods through a film, game or interactive environment. Hosted by the Bartlett School of Architecture, the course draws upon the school’s established and internationally recognised expertise in teaching and its unique pedagogic and design research methods. This master’s degree is suitable for graduates and professionals from architecture, and other backgrounds including design, filmmaking, film studies, anthropology, geography, fine art, videogame design, graphic design, animation and computer-generated imagery design. Applicants should have an interest in studying the relationship between architecture, cinema and videogames, and show evidence of a strong record academically and/or in practice.
