Summary

This masters is an innovative, unique and industry-facing course which provides you an opportunity to gain practical experience of the design and analysis of wargames.

We offer immersive teaching designed to engage you with a range of wargame types and formats. Which can be applied in a range of policy areas from public health and environmental disaster relief to defence. You will develop a toolkit of professional skills designed to equip you for a career in a range of sectors and industries. Through your modules, you will gain an understanding of the contexts in which wargaming can be utilised and apply this knowledge to inform your own designs.

As the first full master’s course in wargaming, this degree offers you the opportunity to gain key skills in an emergent field with a growing demand for knowledgeable graduates. Taking advantage of Brunel’s leading Games Design and Intelligence and Security Studies provision, you will develop skills sought after by employers and have opportunities to demonstrate these skills through your final project. This will include the opportunity for an ‘industry day’ where you will demonstrate and explain your games to industry and defence experts.

The programme will also offer you the opportunity to network and engage with industry and defence professionals via guest lectures, extra-curricular visits and opportunities to attend core professional wargaming events in the UK. Through this will establish important connections throughout your study and for future employment.
