Your mentors have a combined experience of over 30 years in the games industry, having worked on AAA franchises including Crysis, Star Wars: Battlefront, Prey, Sniper Elite, Aliens vs. Predator and Bioshock.

Building on your existing skills in art, programming or games design this course offers you the flexibility to choose from a variety of topics that interest you and will help you specialise within a particular field.

In addition to these topics you will also be given the opportunity to work with other programmers, designers and artists on our year-long Collaborative Project module to create an industry-standard combined portfolio piece to help propel you into the industry.

Finally, in the third semester, you have the option of embarking on a summer industry placement, to put the skills you have learned over the previous two semesters into action inside a professional game development company.
