On BA Games Design & Art you’ll gain an understanding of the whole games design and development process, graduating with skills that you can apply in any part of the games industry, from small studios to major games publishers. Unlike many games design courses, it is based in an art school rather than a computer science department, allowing you to work creatively while gaining essential technical skills. Through studio work you’ll have the chance to apply design thinking to games, explore concepts you are passionate about and make the games you want to make. These might be games that offer an immersive experience, make people think differently about an issue, generate team-based fun or offer pure escapism. Broad in its scope, the course covers the spectrum of gaming, from physical games and board games to video and virtual reality games. Working closely with your peers in a small, close-knit class, you’ll collaborate, inspire one another and discover your strengths. Studio work is set up to simulate the approach of independent (indie) design companies; working on group projects, you’ll experience different design team roles and learn how to pitch and market your ideas. In addition, guest lectures by successful games entrepreneurs and opportunities to present your own games to industry will give you a head start as you enter this dynamic sector.
