Amplify Your Summer: Character Design Programme

This July we'll be running a free, residential summer experience for Year 12 students. Join us on our Cambridge campus for the Creative Industries Programme, from 13-17 July 2025.

Explore the process of designing and developing a great character that connects with a teenage audience. This summer experience allows you to explore character design in 2D or 3D, in an area that interests you.

You could focus on one of the following:

• Games
• Illustration
• Animation
• How a character might be used by a brand
• How a character evolves in a graphic novel

As well as considering the visual aspects of the character, you’ll also explore the themes of representation and identity in characterisation.
