Overview

Game Design is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Computer Games and Animation starts from programming fundamentals even on postgraduate courses marked as conversion, which matters if your first degree was in another field. We currently work with 5 universities on this course across 5 cities.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £17,100 to £29,800 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

Send us your transcript and English result and we will list the departments that would consider you, with the entry condition on each.

Careers opportunities

Employers in this field test what you can build, not what you were taught, and a technical interview is standard. A portfolio of projects, open source contributions or an industrial placement carries more weight than the grade in almost every hiring process.
