Course summary
Computer game developers are key in bringing all the elements of a design team together, from gameplay to combat, level design and VFX (visual effects). Creating computer games is a complex process that requires multiple skillsets from programmers, artists, and other team members. Production designers help to bridge that gap and create technologically innovative experiences. During the course, you’ll work both on your own but also in a group setting so we can support you in developing your team-working abilities. You’ll also use industry-standard facilities and kit on campus, and take part in lots of internal Game Jams, too. You can also get involved in the Global Game Jam, Grads in Games and Game Republic, in which our students have performed highly at in previous years. You’ll have the opportunity, as well, to spend a placement year working in the industry in your third year.
