Course Overview

Games Design teaches you the key technical and creative skills needed to produce indie videogames for computer, mobile, and console.

You’ll get a hands-on introduction to a variety of game-making engines and tools. You'll also study design and development processes, and learn about the relationships between players, the games industry, and broader culture.

The course is taught in the Daphne Oram building, our exciting Creative Arts facility, where you’ll have access to all the equipment and guidance necessary to produce innovative indie games.

A degree in Games Design would help you to enter the games design and development industry, which is a growing sector in the UK. The skills you develop on the course would also open up opportunities in advertising, marketing, events, museum and exhibition design, and the creative sector more generally.
