Course Overview

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

You’ll gain an in-depth knowledge of games-design tools (such as GameMaker Studio, Unreal Engine, and Ren'Py), design and development processes, aesthetics, and the relationships between industry, players, and designers.

The foundation year will help you take your first step into higher education, broadening your industry knowledge and enabling you to progress to an undergraduate degree. It aims to help you develop a strong foundation of game design, alongside academic and transferable skills, to ensure you get the most out of your degree-level studies.

The course is taught in the Daphne Oram building, our exciting Creative Arts facility, where you’ll have access to industry-standard software to produce a range of 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.
