Tuition fees are 22,522 USD per year.

At the intersection of interactive storytelling and technical engineering lies the discipline of games design, a field that demands both the vision of an artist and the precision of a developer. This BSc (Hons) Games Design programme invites you to master this duality, transforming a passion for gaming into a robust professional toolkit. Rather than merely consuming digital entertainment, you will learn to construct it, navigating the entire lifecycle of production from initial concept and narrative design to technical implementation and final polish.

As a student, you will operate within dedicated professional-standard studios at our City Campus, utilizing industry-grade software and high-spec hardware that mirror the workflows of global studios. The curriculum is built on three core pillars: programming and software engineering; art, concept, and asset production; and games design theory. By balancing these areas, you will develop the versatility required to thrive in a competitive, fast-paced international market. Whether your interest lies in the mechanics of RPGs, the atmosphere of horror titles, or the strategic depth of simulation games, you will be encouraged to experiment with your own creative voice while adhering to established industry standards.

You will engage with real-world industry through guest lectures, workshops, and networking events, benefiting from our status as an Unreal Engine Academic Partner.
