MSc Games Development is a conversion programme designed for students from other disciplines who would like to build a skillset for a career in the games industry or related creative technology sector. We build computer programming skills from the ground up, assuming no previous experience. Students are also able to learn about game design topics and a variety of advanced tools and platforms, including virtual and augmented realities. Our programme delivery team comprises lecturers with industry experience, and leading-edge academic research experience, who are used to working in interdisciplinary settings. We therefore welcome applications from students of all subject areas who are interested in building games and technical development skills for career development, personal interest, or to explore further study options. Teaching and programme content is informed by current industry tools and trends, and students also enjoy our specialist learning facilities which include a games lab with console development kits, group working space, and play testing facilities, as well as an XR lab space. Students may also join the Computer Science Society, who work closely with our lecturers and organise student-led extra curricula activities such as game jams and guest speakers. This environment provides a rich source of inputs and perspectives, as well as many opportunities for constructive and creative multidisciplinary interactions.
