About this course

Computer games design is a discipline that brings together creative artistry, technical programming, and an understanding of player psychology and interaction. Games are one of the most dynamic creative industries in the world, requiring designers who can think simultaneously about narrative, visual aesthetics, mechanics, user experience, and the technical constraints of different platforms. The field rewards people who are both creatively ambitious and methodically rigorous. At the University of Gloucestershire, this four-year full-time programme includes a year-long work placement within the games industry, which is the centrepiece of the degree and a feature that directly addresses the most persistent challenge facing games graduates: gaining industry experience before they start their careers. You will spend your placement immersed in a professional games studio environment, applyin
