Overview

Key Facts and Outcomes

In an entrepreneurial ecosystem, you will learn the knowledge and techniques for opportunity discovery, impact analysis, customer analysis, strategic team-building and leadership, the psychology and ethics of the start-up, funding modelling and financial analysis, and growth and exit strategies.

The Entrepreneurship (Games Design and Simulation) specialisation will convert your passion for playing games into deep knowledge of the science and art of problem solving through development and application of games and simulations. This area of study includes gamification, games design, game-based learning, and psychology of gaming, serious games, games entrepreneurship, as well as broader modelling and simulation.

It features two majors that are not available in any other Western Sydney University degree - Game Programming and Game Design. Upon completion you will have developed an entrepreneurial mindset and will know how to apply this mindset to address a diverse range of problems through game and simulation-based solutions.

The Western Sydney University program incorporates practical experience in every semester of study, placing students in entrepreneurial environments (incubators, technology parks, innovation centres) and enabling them through all the stages from creative ideation through the sustainable development of the idea into a lean start-up.
