Learn to produce vibrant and engaging experiences for gamers on this dynamic online MA course. You’ll analyse the principles of the creative process, from early ideation and prototyping through to full production, release and post-release content.
Supported by an experienced cross-disciplinary team of industry practitioners, including tutors working in professional game development roles, you’ll learn to integrate design tools, programming languages, game engines, specialist middleware and frameworks into your game development practice.
You’ll explore current trends in indie games, funding opportunities and studio business models to see how you could start up your own. If you already have a business or game idea, this is your chance to get it off the ground by preparing pitch materials with help from tutors with a wealth of experience.
