Games Design MA

The UK has a long history of making world class video games and Northern Ireland is now host to many successful independent studios making it an ideal destination to study game design. This course will allow you to develop a range of professional skills, problem solving and experiences in advanced games design practice. Further establishing Ulster University’s Belfast School of Art as the regional, national and international centre of excellence for creative industries in education and research, this course is taught by academic staff with a wealth of experience within the games industry. Having worked on multiple titles released on modern platforms such as PC, Xbox and PlayStation you will gain invaluable insight into the drive, passion and work ethic needed to make it in the industry. Addressing the gap between academia and industry, providing access to new opportunities and expertise within the creative industries, MA Games Design will give you the skills and production experiences necessary to succeed as a Games Designer. This strategic and intellectual linking of ideas, processes and outcomes in the programme will enable you to present projects in the real world to a national or international standard.
