Overview

Program Description The BSc (Hons) Games Design degree focuses on the design aspect of creating contemporary video games, exploring everything from the theory behind the creation of successful digital entertainment titles to the generation of dedicated art and content for them. BU is a member of The Independent Games Developers’ Association (TIGA), and BU's Games courses have been nominated by TIGA for Best Educational Institution. Currently being considered for accreditation by TIGA, the course covers level design, interactive storytelling, narrative development, interface design, games analytics, scripting for game creation, plus 3D modelling and texturing for games. The degree follows a curriculum that is intended for specializing exclusively in the art and design aspects of video games creation. To complement the skills and knowledge acquired on the course, those undertaking the four-year course have the opportunity to complete at least 30 weeks in an industry work placement – designed to give students a competitive edge when seeking employment. In the three-year course, students have the option to complete an optional four-week placement if they choose to. As well as preparing students for a career in games, the skills and knowledge they will develop in this course will also open up opportunities in a range of other sectors, such as multimedia, technology and entertainment. BU has regular contact with games developers across the UK and overseas including Unity, Jagex, King, Sports Interactive, Creative Assembly, Climax Studios and others. As a result, students can expect guest lectures from some of the leading names in the industry.
