Program details

Overview

This Master's route is built for graduates with a computing or technical background who want to build games from the code up. Study centres on the engineering behind interactive entertainment, with students planning, producing and testing playable prototypes for several platforms. Work takes place in dedicated games studio spaces, alongside projects from classmates in a shared production environment. Assessment follows a project-based pattern, so the final portfolio records the advanced technical work you have built. The course responds to demand across the UK games industry, and it is accredited by TIGA, the trade body for games developers. Graduates are prepared for programming roles in games studios, simulation companies and other digital product teams, and some continue into research or interactive media.
