This exciting new programme builds on our popular Game Design BSc to equip students with the creative design skills that are in demand in this expanding industry. Online gaming and eSports – the most rapidly expanding areas – are a particular focus of this MA, as are inclusion and diversity.

You'll develop a holistic suite of skills related to game design and development, such as proficiency in UI (User Interface)/UX (User Experience) Design and with popular game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine. This strong practical element will be underpinned by theoretical content which will help you understand the core principles of designing games for a global and diverse audience. You'll gain familiarity with advanced technologies – including machine learning, AI and XR (Extended Reality) – which will help you keep apace with this rapidly developing sector.

Employability has been embedded into every aspect of the programme. The skills you gain will be applied through a range of assessment methods, designed to culminate in the creation of an asset portfolio which you'll be able to showcase to prospective employers.
