      Is there any postgraduate courses out there focused on Game Concept Art? I know there’s a few in the UK but I haven’t found one in Ireland yet.
      I’m striving to break into that world but I seem to always conclude that moving out of Ireland is the only way at this time.

      Anyone out there with some advice?

      Thanks,
      chris

      Wow, I was surprised that there was even concept art courses in the UK- shows what I know.

      Do you need to do a post graduate course to get a job as a concept artist?

      Well, I’d imagine so, a course will prove that you have the ability and know how before presenting a port-folio, proving to the employer they ain’t wasting their time calling you in for an interview, or at least that’s how I’d logically look at it.

      Although you’re asking about a post-graduate course. My current general course is Computer Science, not art related, so to get that art background, I’d have to look into post-graduate courses to get ahead as much as I can.

      I’d imagine that most places when expect you to have some sort of art background, even for a post grad. Don’t you have to have a portfolio to show even for art degree courses, I know my girlfriend had to have one to get into the art degree in Abertay.
