Attestation of College Studies (AEC) - Game and Level Design (NTL.1H)

Program Description

Game and level designers make games fun. They think up and create the video game’s storyline and mechanics.

With LaSalle College's game design and level design courses, among other things, learn to understand game mechanics, to program the interaction with the player and to incorporate 3D elements in a game engine.

Students can practice their skills with cutting-edge software, work in teams to create their own video game during a semester designed to replicate industry conditions, and present their game or level design demo reel to a panel of professionals.

Keen to remain at the forefront of the industry, LaSalle College is the first in Montréal to integrate the professional practices of the industry through designated courses as a result of its collaboration with the major studios.
