Research in games covers a wide spectrum of theoretical and practical areas; the relation between video games and other media; video game aesthetics and politics; immersive technologies and game design, game-based learning, serious games, ludomusicology, inclusive games design, agency in games, games and socio-cultural studies. Projects often happen in collaboration with industry partners in the games and other creative industries. Our students are given opportunities to participate in research so that they extend their knowledge, implement the skills they learn in their studies into real world contexts, and extend their teamwork and management skills, while enriching their portfolio.
The general University entrance requirement for registration for a research degree is normally a First or Upper Second Class Honours degree (1st or 2:1).
