Course Summary

**We challenge our students to go beyond the norm and push games and entertainment design to the next level. With a focus on employability, you'll build a professional-standard portfolio to showcase your abilities and boost your prospects.** This hands-on course gives you leadership skills and an informed, critical and creative approach to game and entertainment design – preparing you to enter the industry at a graduate level.
