Master of Arts - Games design

The MA in Games Design has been created to support students coming from creative or technical backgrounds to learn the essential skills necessary to make games.

It is intended as a course for people with an active interest in making games, who have expertise in related creative or technical field. Whether they have experience in creative writing, music, illustration, or indeed prior game design they will learn to develop and apply their skills to make games.

This MA Games Design course enables students to apply and convert their skills to games design, learning the key skills in research and production before applying these on game development projects. Working collaboratively with other creative and technical game designers, students will emerge with imaginative, original research, confidence in combining theory and practice, a new network of contacts and a portfolio of games.

As a technologically orientated Masters programme students will have access to a range of online and in-person learning materials and approaches, the University have designed the course to be taught through a combination of intensive in person sessions, online interactive and guided learning through individual and group tutorials.
