Games Development

About this course

Games development sits at a rich intersection of programming, design, art and interactive storytelling, combining technical rigour with creative imagination to produce experiences that engage players across platforms from mobile to console to virtual reality. It is a discipline that has grown into one of the largest creative industries in the world, with a demand for skilled developers that consistently outpaces supply. Games developers must understand not just how to build software but how to create compelling player experiences, balancing mechanics, narrative, visual design and technical performance in ways that keep audiences engaged. At the University of Sunderland this three-year, full-time programme develops your skills across gameplay programming, game engine use and player experience design, working with the industry-standard tools, platforms and practices that employers expect.
