College for Games Art?

I’m finding it extremely hard to find good Games Art courses I can take in college this year. It’s getting later and later and I’m still struggling. I have one in mind, but I don’t have anything for a backup. Does anyone know of a college that offers a games art (not to be confused with games development) course for a 16 year old? I live in the midlands but I can travel

Yea I found there are not many in the UK, I know that the uni I went to for undergraduate has a decent program: https://www.uwtsd.ac.uk/ba-creative-computer-games-design/ .
And the uni I am going to next for postgraduate has one too http://www.tees.ac.uk/undergraduate_courses/Computer_Games/BA_(Hons)_Computer_Games_Art.cfm
I have heared good things about both, the Swansea one, they do workshops to see if you want to go to that one. Not sure about teesside, but I know they do open days.

Hey there!

We offer an Extended Diploma course which covers Graphics, Illustration and Game Arts. The course is accredited by UAL and is Level 3.

We also offer an Undergraduate Degree in Game Art, if you wanted to study somewhere that you could continue in afterwards, or if you're just interested in what it may entail.

Hope that helps!
