Games that have meaning beyond entertainment are the focus of our new MA Independent & Serious Games degree course at UCA Farnham. To meet the ever-changing landscape of digital games, which are now being incorporated and used in the worlds of advertising, museums, medical training, psychology, education, and theatre, this course examines how games and interactive media are constantly and deeply intertwined. It will help develop you as a new kind of interactive creator, ready for a career in experience design or independent games. So, if you want to work in smaller and independent games studios, apply interactivity to your established creative practice, or work in industries bordering the games industry, this course is for you. You'll combine an advanced exploration of game design with solid technical skills, to create games at an independent level. You'll also focus on critical analysis and thinking as you work - this will enable you to craft your game mechanics with a supporting message or a specific goal in mind. You'll be supported in your studies by our team of academic staff and gain insight from our established industry links, and have access to our extensive facilities.
