What stands out about this course?

This BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma is a two year, triple award course which provides work related knowledge and practical skills in Computer Games Design. The course is suitable for both those choosing to find employment after college as well as those moving on to university. It is broadly equivalent to three full A Levels and attracts similar UCAS points.

Assessment is made up of eighteen internally marked, portfolio based units (nine each year).
