In the first year, you will study a range of modules including Introduction to Games Design, Introduction to Games Studies as well as Historical and Business Contexts. This approach is designed to help you decide where your particular interests lie so that you can begin to consider where to specialize in the second and third years. In the second and third year, you have the choice to focus on design, art, technology, game studies or sound, and music. Making this choice allows you to begin to specialize in your chosen field of game design and to build your portfolio around your future ambitions whilst youre still studying.
