Bachelor of Design (Game Development)

Embark on an exciting journey into game development with UC's Bachelor of Design (Game Development). This hands-on course equips you with specialised skills and the expertise to create game environments, characters, interactions, stories, worlds, and everything in between.

Dive into the fundamentals of game development, from tabletop games and indie projects to VR and advanced game development. As a game developer, you’re the ultimate creator with the power to design every element from the ground up.

Master visual aesthetics in game art, create interactive experiences through game programming, and craft compelling gameplay with game design. Each semester, you’ll bring your ideas to life and create a game, building a robust portfolio that showcases your creativity and technical ability. With every game you create, you'll build your own in-game universe, a virtual big bang that players can explore and experience.

Immerse yourself in Canberra’s only government-supported game development program and gain unique industry experience through simulated studio environments. This course not only prepares you for the dynamic landscape of the games industry, but opens doors to careers in storytelling, graphic design, player psychology, sound design, and beyond.
