The BA (Hons) Games Art and Design degree gives you the chance to grow creatively and conceptually, as well as to research games, test out ideas, gain valuable knowledge of the gaming industry. You'll generate original concept art, learn character animation techniques, undertake experimental gameplay and understand emerging technologies such as AI scripting. The direction of the course is to create impactful games, meaning you'll graduate with specialist knowledge required for roles in the gaming industry, and informed perspectives on game creation that considers equality, diversity, and inclusion.
You'll be able to produce your own games via software such as Unity and Unreal and will acquire critical viewpoints on games and their cultural and social relevance. You'll cover topics like power, identity and ethics, as well as the function that games play in social change, health and educational endeavours. Throughout the course, you'll collaborate and undertake different roles in the creation of games, preparing for a career in the games industry or for postgraduate study. As this course is delivered within a specialist university, you'll work alongside other like-minded and creative individuals, who all add to the unique dynamic ofour creative campus.
The course focuses on creating fun but ‘meaningful’ games that showcase concepts with value-driven design to gain critical perspectives on cultural and social significance. They could include issues such as power, identity and ethics, as well as the role of games in education, health, and social change initiatives.
