Program Description

On the Bachelor in Game Design and Production (BA) at one of the most prestigious game design schools in the world, students will learn to push the boundaries of games making using their outstanding creative and technical skills.

They will gain a complete understanding of what it means to work in the modern games business, taught by people who’ve worked there. They will create concepts and prototypes, design levels, audio and systems to craft powerful and emotive experiences. They'll be supported by staff with real-world technical, theoretical and practical experience. Building confidence and experience in inclusive multi-discipline teams, they will collaborate with professional game studio clients.

Students will learn to communicate through prototypes, asset creation, documentation and presentations, covering topics such as: game concept development, level design, testing and user experience, communication and leadership skills.

Abertay is the top European School for video games design (Princeton Review 2024).
