Testimonial

Taking this degree was a journey of discovery that led me to what I really enjoy: creating 3D scenarios. I learned a lot at the Image Processing and Multimedia Technology Center, as well as from my classmates. They provided me with healthy competition that motivated me to improve my projects, and at the same time, they were the best partners that any learner could have, especially when working as a team. After I had decided upon the type of industry I wanted to work in, I worked carefully to build up my portfolio, which led me to my first job soon after I graduated.
Miki Gual Ortega, graduate in Design, Animation and Digital Art
Testimonial
The degree course was an enriching experience that enabled me to overcome challenges and explore different areas of digital art. The courses and work as part of a team contributed to my personal and professional growth. When I completed the degree course, I discovered that there are many areas which I want to continue to explore. Thanks to the Cupra Gamied Car project, which I began last year, I have started my professional career in the Visualisation department at SEAT, working for EDAG engineering, where I am continuing to learn and create.
