BA(Hons) Game Development

... United Kingdom
... Falmouth University

Course Overview

From day one, you’ll work as you would within a team in the industry, developing your games. Then, you’ll replicate professional practice, learning in various environments to discover your specialism and prepare for the career you want.

You’ll learn how different specialisms work together, how to work effectively in a team and to develop the role you play in it. These courses simulate how the industry operates in a studio environment built to mirror a real games development studio.

You will:

  • Build your games from day one and have the opportunity to establish your own company in your third year

  • Work in one of the largest and best-equipped dedicated game-making spaces of any university in the UK

  • Learn in a department dedicated to gaming and be surrounded by people working in all aspects of the industry

  • Develop a multidisciplinary approach, using Unity and Unreal to touch upon all aspects of game creation

  • Have the flexibility to change your area of specialism based on your skills and interests
