About this course

As the course progresses, you’ll build on your creative skills and improve your programming ability. As you master new technologies used within artificial intelligence, you’ll implement advanced game design techniques into your games projects.

As a graduate of this course, you’ll be well positioned to pursue a career in the growing games and media sectors as an independent games developer, working on your own or as part of a small team. You may go on to work within a larger studio or work freelance as a specialist game designer, artist or programmer.
