Creating fun isn’t easy, and a good designer can create entertainment from complex systems. Whether it’s single-player, multiplayer, competitive or co-operative, designers ensure memorable gameplay experiences. Computer game designers are the fundamental backbones of computer game development – and on our Games Development (Design) BA(Hons) course, you’ll cover complex aspects of games design and development. On games design courses like ours, you’ll analyse games to explore why a game is fun, and the motivations of the player. You’ll take a deeper look at the broader understanding of games development and explore what is possible within the medium of games. Our three Games Development courses share a common first year; you’ll gain a thorough understanding in the basics of the game development process, including how to plan, design and create game ideas and concepts. As the course progresses and your understanding evolves, you’ll become more specialised in your chosen area, producing design documentation and prototypes, concepts, or scripting.

Studying Games Development doesn't just lead to a career, it's a gateway to improved prospects, increased earning potential, and the ability to shape your own path in the ever-evolving landscape of gaming.
