About this course

Games design is a discipline concerned with the creation of interactive experiences, encompassing the conceptual, mechanical, narrative, and artistic decisions that determine how a game works and what it feels like to play it. It draws on design principles, storytelling, psychology, human-computer interaction, and technical knowledge of games development tools and platforms, and it sits at a genuinely creative frontier where technology and art meet. The games industry is one of the largest and fastest-growing entertainment sectors in the world, and well-designed games are valued both commercially and culturally. At Teesside University, this four-year full-time Games Design degree with a foundation year gives you a grounded introduction to the field of computer games, animation, and film, exploring the historical and contemporary context of these media alongside analytical and design ski
