Games Design undergraduate courses


A top‑rated, hands‑on games design experience

Our fun, hands‑on courses don't require you to be a programmer or an artist. You’ll combine your passion for games with studying game theory and practice, with plenty of time to play, explore why games matter and discover what makes them great. You’ll design games from concept to completion and consider their rules. Ranked in the top three for every major theme, including learning opportunities, assessment and feedback, academic support, organisation and management, learning resources, and student voice (National Student Survey 2025).

The equipment is fantastic. The gaming labs are open 24/7 and they’re full of high-specification computers. We also have a room full of board games, where you can go to study or have some quiet time.
