Game Design

Game Design introduces the full process of making games, from design documentation and concept boards to 3D prototypes, audio and code. Students build a professional portfolio across the degree that shows their creative and technical abilities, as well as their teamwork, to future employers. Teaching uses industry-standard facilities and software, including the Game Design Lab, which is set up with gaming PCs and technology modelled on professional studios. Work-based learning forms part of the course, and connections with studios and creative firms support placement opportunities. Graduates leave with a portfolio of original work and the specialist expertise needed for careers in the games industry and the wider creative sector. The portfolio built during the degree gives graduates tangible examples of their work to show prospective employers.
