Games Design - BA (Hons)

University of Lincoln

Game design is not simply about making games look good or learning to code. It is about understanding how players interact with games, developing ideas that are engaging and accessible, and working with different creative and technical disciplines to turn those ideas into playable experiences.At Lincoln, we bring together game design, programming, visual design, animation, sound, CGI, user experience and immersive technologies. You will learn how the different elements of a game work together, from developing an initial concept and gameplay ideas, to creating prototypes and producing substantial projects.You will learn through practical, project-based work, building your skills progressively before completing a substantial independent project in your final year. You will also have the opportunity to apply for an Industry Placement Year and study abroad.Whether you already have a clear ambition to become a game designer, or you are still exploring which area of the industry interests you most, this course will help you develop your strengths and build a portfolio of work to kickstart your career in the games industry.
