Games design

Whether you’re fired up by commercial game development for Oculus, Playstation, Xbox, iPhone or home computer platforms, you’ll learn the fundamentals of game design in your first year. Develop a focus of specialisation in second year, before embarking on a major team-based capstone project in your third year. You can choose to specialise in concept art, 3D computer imagery, interactive animation and interactive player experience design. You’ll still be free to explore contemporary developments in interactive game design and related disciplines such as computer programming, narrative and character development, audio and more.
