Course summary

This degree has been created with our industry partners to be a highly focused digital games course that encompasses not only theory but technical and artistic approaches.

This course aims to produce graduates who design video games from concept to implementation, developing gameplay, environments and user experiences to produce engaging play experiences. You will have the transferable skills to work and support teams in both technical and artistic capacities across different real-time and interactive production environments, such as virtual reality and other forms of interactive entertainment. This cutting-edge course will enable you to develop and refine your skills, with individual projects, as well as working alongside our Technical Art and Game Art programmes. We will provide rich and varied opportunities to work on collaborative projects, developing the soft and technical skills that games companies look for in Games Designers.
