Overview

We will introduce you to all the main processes involved in the design and making of computer games.

What makes this BA in Computer Games Design (Hons) at University of Wolverhampton special is that it covers both the artist side as well as the technical side of computer games. You will be involved from the initial idea generation to making the final game while working individually or as part of a team.

Key facts

The focus of the course is on creativity, innovation, ideas generation, drawing and design as well as critical thinking, problem solving and passion for games.

Yes, you will use a variety of specialist and industry-standard software packages; yes, you will do some coding; yes, you will learn about the gaming hardware; but all because you want to bring your creative game ideas to life.

In this course, there is a fine balance between theory and practice on the one hand and design and making on the other.
