Course Overview

As a first-year student, you will be introduced to a range of duties performed by game designers and will be acquainted with the principles and tools with which you can begin to develop your own games. By the end of your first year, you will have produced a substantial portfolio of digital and non-digital games in which you will have applied those concepts. You will participate in a number of game-jams in which you can collaborate with students from the BSc (Hons) Games Programming degree. In the second year, you will continue to enhance your understanding of these processes and augment your knowledge with key management tools used in professional games production. Having developed games in a team in the first year, you will now manage a small team of first year students, as you oversee the development of games from original concepts and documentation through to testing and polishing. In your final year, you will engage in larger-scale individual and group projects, bringing to fruition a significant and carefully curated body of work to showcase to prospective employers. Having assimilated two years worth of knowledge, and had the chance to explore a wealth of design solutions, you will be bursting with ideas for your final group project, and armed to the teeth with the tools and techniques you will need to plan, develop, manage, and give life to an unforgettable interactive experience. You are almost ready to take the game development scene by storm and you will need a professional online presence and curriculum vitae. We have first-hand experience of industry recruitment and with our support, you will stand out from the crowd.
