If you’re passionate about creating games – not just playing them – and want to take your first steps toward a career in the games industry, our Foundation Degree (FdA) in Game Design and Development is the perfect starting point.
As a budding game developer, you’ll explore the art, design, and technology behind games, building the skills to bring your ideas to life. Whether your interests lie in 3D modelling, digital art, storytelling or coding, this course provides a solid foundation for you to develop your creative and technical ability.
