BA Game Design with a placement year
Growth in the UK games industry has been the fastest it has ever been, generating almost £1 billion in revenue in 2020. Our hands-on course aims to prepare you for a career in this exciting industry and beyond with a focus on employability, allowing you to develop a professional-standard portfolio to showcase your abilities and boost your career prospects.
Our relationship with Game Republic – a network of game developers throughout Yorkshire and the North, means you could take part in their annual Student Showcase – presenting final-year projects to industry employers and competing against teams from other universities in the region.
You'll have access to our media labs, home to the latest digital media software and hardware used in the industry today.
Alongside gaining skills required by the games industry, you will develop transferrable skills such as communication, problem solving and collaborating within multi-disciplinary teams – all essential attributes for graduates seeking employment within the creative sector.
Explore the world of games development and enhance your skills across a number of areas including Game Design, Game Art, Game Audio and Narrative Design.
Creativity lives and breathes at the University of Hull. Always has done, always will. It’s central to what universities do. But at Hull, we’re building something that goes far beyond our four walls. Find out more about Creative Industries, our brand-new degrees for career-driven creatives.
