B.SC (HONS) GAMES DESIGN AND PRODUCTION

Throughout your studies, you will look at gaming and user interaction across a spectrum of related practices. The aim of the course is to provide you with a rounded exposure of the elements of interactive user content, building up your confidence in various specialisms as the course progresses.

You will work as part of a team in your final year to produce a prototype game, with modules looking at areas such as patents, copyrights and other means of legal protection as well as the economics and structure of the industry to enable you to learn the skills needed to take your product to market. In the most recent National Student Survey, 97% of students said they had had the right opportunities to work other students as part of their course (University of Salford analysis of unpublished NSS 2019 data).

Offering a unique mix of both the creative and technical, the course has become well known for developing technically savvy, creatively aware and future thinking professionals.

The industry experience module will provide an invaluable opportunity for you, not simply to put your academic, creative and technical knowledge and skills into practice in a relevant professional context, but also to acquire first-hand experience of organisational structures, practices and processes as well professional networks within the creative industries.

You will: 

• Develop the skills you need to plan, prototype and produce computer games 
• Gain fundamental and specialist knowledge in computer programming 
• Learn how to think both creatively and technically
