Course Overview

The MA in Games Design has been created to support students coming from creative or technical backgrounds to learn the essential skills necessary to make games. It is intended as a course for people with an active interest in making games, who have expertise in related creative or technical fields. Whether you have experience in creative writing, music, illustration, or indeed prior game design you will learn to develop and apply your skills to make games. Our MA Games Design course is for people with an active interest in making games. Making games is technically and creatively demanding, and quite different from appreciating and playing games. If you've experienced another creative or technical discipline you understand what kind of engagement and dedication is required.

Graduates of this course will be able to pursue careers in a variety of roles related to the games industry, including setting up an indie studio or joining an established team, and within related creative agencies, branding, charities, the arts, and education. Others may use this as a way to start their own studios.
