About this course

You’ll learn how all the specialisms work together, how to work effectively in a team and the role you play in it. The course simulates how the industry operates and its methodologies in a studio environment that is built to mirror a real games development studio.
You’ll get a feel for all the skills and disciplines in game development, before specialising in one of six routes - but you can change your route at any point in your first year. You’ll then go from small tasks to games with more challenging scope as you take on team-led projects.



Graduates from this course have started their own game development studios, and gone on to careers as artists and designers at major game studios like Creative Assembly, Supermassive Games, Rare, King and TT Games.

104 - 120 UCAS points, primarily from Level 3 qualifications like A-levels, a BTEC Extended Diploma or a Foundation Diploma.
