**This course is primarily designed for face to face learning with you attending your lessons for the specified hours within the validation document. However, there may be periods of study where the government advises TEC Partnership that it is not safe to open campuses or there is limited access due to social distancing measures. If the Campus is closed TEC Partnership will continue to deliver your sessions online and offer you the necessary support and resources remotely. If there is limited access due to social distancing measures a blended model will be adopted with some lessons happening in small groups and others happening using online sessions and support.** 'Be the games industry ...' The video game Industry and the creation and distribution of video games have changed beyond all recognition in the past ten years. No longer is the route to employment solely through the behemoths that publish AAA games, costing millions to make and bring to market. With the viability of game creation tools now available to all there has never been a time where it has been easier to get into the industry. The challenge now is to stand out in such a crowded space. Knowing the theory and practical skills to lift you above others is where the Game Design degrees at the University Centre Grimsby step in. Structured to offer two distinct, yet complimentary pathways, it is designed to maximise students’ potential employability while still allowing them to shape their own development and skills. It also allows for natural cross-fertilisation between artists and coders, allowing students to build up mutual networks and awareness of other disciplines within game development. On the Game Development pathway, students will focus on developing their coding and engine manipulation skills.

The first year will give you all the basic knowledge required to start your journey into the programming side of the Games Industry, providing you with skills in C#, Node Based Coding, Level Design, Game Mechanics, Game Design, and coding for GUI Design. The second year allows you to build on these skills in group-based work where you will start to create polished and finished games. Alongside this, you will create narrative experiences; understand the fundamentals of working with other programmers, develop code for 3D and the creation of Artificial Intelligence for games, whilst also gaining a deeper understanding of the theory behind fun and games. The final year is where you bring all the skills you have learnt in your Final Major Project, creating a fully featured game to sell your skills to the wider gaming industry. There is also a dissertation to complete, and you will also be tasked with creating yourself on online portfolio to show off the skills and work you have produced across the breadth of the course.
