The first semester enables students to use advanced research methods in relation to game design, allowing students to pursue a career in games research or to prepare for advanced study in MPhil or Doctorate programmes. Students will gain advanced practical skills required for complex mission design and implementation, as well as the ability to create advanced gameplay scenarios and professional design documents. Students will learn how to tackle complex game development scenarios and apply advanced game management techniques, ensuring projects are organised in a professional manner from pre-production, through production, delivery and project closure during the second semester. Students will also have an opportunity to develop – in interdisciplinary teams – a small prototype using a contemporary game engine and a prototype utilising advanced virtual reality technologies in a fully equipped VR studio. The final semester involves the master’s project and dissertation.
