We'll cover specialist areas in storytelling and design, developing skills to reveal new horizons of gaming. With help from your ex-industry mentors, you’ll gain the skills you need for employment or enterprise in a games and media context. Collaborating with other talented game-lovers, you’ll design your own AAA, indie or board games and see your ideas come to life.
To complete your coursework, you’ll require a laptop at an expense of around £1,300. If you need to bring other equipment or materials with you, these will be outlined in your Welcome Letter.
