COURSE
OVERVIEW
The UAL Diploma in Creative Media Production (Games Development) is offered at level 2 and level 3. In partnership with the University of Huddersfield, using a project-based approach, you will learn industry standard skills that allow you to create three fully playable games in each year.
Using industry standard software (Unity), you will research, plan, develop, test, and showcase your games to a selection of your peers.
You will undertake group projects and develop essential skills that will help you to progress to the next level, ultimately working in the games development industry.
This course offers a broad range of practical study, using great facilities with industry-standard equipment. You’ll complete various assessments throughout your study, resulting in a final industry-standard games showreel, and an end of year show where you’ll showcase your work professionally.
In year one, you will create a series of game projects with each project developing specific game development skills and processes.
Alongside this you will explore the different requirements for successful employment within the Games Industry.
On the second year of the course, you will extend your skills to explore 3D.
You will be assessed on a final project at the end of each year, after developing the skills needed.
