Overview

During the Games Design and Development (Hons) program at BIMM University you will develop an understanding of how players interact with games systems and what motivates them, as well as using games engines to test your own ideas out. This will be done in the most adventurous way possible: there will be freedom to fail and learn from those mistakes that are made along the way, all in the name of experience.

A multi-disciplinary approach that combines both gaming expertise and theoretical understanding of game design and development will help you fully immerse yourself from the word go.

Throughout the course, you will delve into the intricacies of the game development process, gaining insights into narrative design, mechanics, technical design, and level design pipelines.
