<strong>Our MA Games Design with Integrated Pre-Masters is a year-long preparatory course of study to ready you for your Masters course, developing your specialist knowledge, research skills and confidence in working alone.</strong><br/><br/>MA Games Design at UCA Farnham combines the latest creative practice and academic research, placing you at the cutting edge of the global games industry. <br/><br/>Youll be prepared for the needs of the digital games industry, as we guide you through the various aspects of game development in an industrial context, allied to a rigorous research programme exploring and applying the latest theory in game studies. <br/><br/>The curriculum blends technical skills with creative practice and academic rigour. In this sense, it is a generalist course rather than one focused on a technological approach to games design. This course focuses on three areas: skills, project management, and research. <br/><br/>You will develop your portfolio as a solo developer, or collaborating in a team, culminating in a final major project to produce and complete vertical slice of a digital game product. Not only will you gain valuable experience in games production, but you will also gain a scholarly understanding of the creative industries more generally, and enhance invaluable skills such as interdisciplinary communication, project management, and collaboration.
