Welcome to our Wednesday Workshop series. These engaging, interactive sessions have been designed to give you a taste of what it would be like to study on one of our degree courses.
You will get to meet our lecturers, who will take you through some of the processes they go through on the course and ask them questions about what it’s like to work in their subject area.

BA (Hons) Animation
Bringing Characters to Life! – Character Design for Animation
Join the BA (Hons) Animation course as we look at the art of character design and development for animation.
All you need is your sketchbook and imagination as we take prompts to design characters that can fit into animated films. Along the way, we will think about how they might fit into a 2D, 3D or Stop Motion film and the way we might do that.
So, come along and learn the basics of character creation and bring some of your characters to life with the animation team.
BA (Hons) Future Media Production
What Is Future Media Production?
Human beings are storytellers be that through films, TV shows or Tik Tok. The ability to create interesting and engaging stories and tell them visually is at the heart of the Future Media Production course.
In this session, we’ll see how to quickly outline a story concept by breaking a story into its core components. Through an exercise, you’ll learn how to structure your own story ideas and you’ll also get tips on some (free) software you can use to create and tell your stories.
You’ll see what types of media are being produced now and, in the future, as well as see the type of jobs available in the creative digital sector.
BSc (Hons) Web and User Experience Design
So, What Makes a Good Website?
In this session, we’ll see how design, content and code can all affect how easy a website is to use.
By the end of the session, you’ll be able to identify and name some of the things that you might already find frustrating about websites and apps and see ways they could be fixed.
We’ll see what web designers and user experience (or ‘UX’) professionals are employed to do and how this course could lead to the many different jobs in the digital industries.
BA (Hons) Game Art
Worlds from Your Imagination
Join the SODA Game Art team for an interactive concept art workshop.
Bring your creative tools of choice, be it a sketchbook, tablet or application and we will explore the creation of environmental concept art for games.
Come and learn some tips and tricks to help you to develop your game art skills and bring your ideas to life.
