Game Development: Audio ACM (The Academy of Contemporary Music) Degree level: Undergraduate Awarded by: Falmouth University
Course summary
Explore your love for games and become part of a thriving global industry. If your ambition is to make games, then this course, run in conjunction with creative industry leaders Falmouth University and taught from our ACM London Campus, builds the skills you need to fulfil that dream and carve out a career in gaming.
Whether you want to be a programmer, a designer, an artist, or sound designer, you can put your knowledge into practice with fellow students. You’ll make completed, publishable games, using an interdisciplinary approach that distinguishes ACM and Falmouth’s Game Development course from the rest. You’ll gain exactly the type of experience needed for employment in the games industry or to start up your own independent game development studio.
As a Game Development student, you’ll learn about the commerce, theory and design of digital games. This knowledge is complemented by the development of skills that are gained in your specialist area (art, animation, audio, design, programming or writing). Most significantly you’ll work in groups to make complete games at every level of the course.
As you progress and in true ACM style, project teamwork will be at the heart of your learning experience, as recommended by the creative industry. You'll also be paired with an expert Mentor, who'll offer a unique insight into the industry and help you build contacts.
Music and sound effects create the atmosphere necessary for games to become immersive experiences and are often used as a means of feedback on a player's actions. If you recognise the importance of audio in games and want to make sound environments and scores to electrify players, then this is the route for you. You'll graduate with a portfolio of audio for a number of completed games on which you have worked closely with a multi-disciplined development team and have first-hand experience of the development pipeline. Previous qualifications in music provide good grounding for this route.
