Course Overview

On this online Indie Game Development MA, you'll produce rich and engaging experiences for gamers. Analyse the principles of the creative process, from ideation and design to delivery and dissemination. Integrate design tools, programming languages, game engines, specialist middleware and frameworks into your game development practice.

Explore business models used by indie game studios to see how you could start your own. And, if you already have a business idea, get it off the ground with help from a mentor.

You will:

  • Apply the principles of design and creativity to generate fun and playful experiences

  • Learn to use industry-standard platforms for making games and adapt to their technical constraints

  • Use methods from business and analytics to better understand how people engage with indie games and game companies

  • Adopt both technical and artistic perspectives as part of a design thinking process to deliver novel games

  • Collaborate across disciplinary boundaries, an increasingly important skill in the games industry

  • Practice digital and non-digital game design across a range of application domains, including gamification and serious games

  • Keep and control the Intellectual Property (IP) of any games you produce

General Eligibility

An honours degree or Level 6 equivalent qualification is desirable. However, candidates without a degree or formal qualification are still encouraged to apply.
