Norwich Univercity of the arts - BA games and art design

 The curriculum focuses on the art of games and the idea of game form, enabling students to become confident in the core elements of digital game development and production – art, design and technology.

The course uses industry-standard game development software including level editors to explore ideas and creativity and boasts Apple University Developer Status which provides access to cutting edge software to create apps and games for iOS platforms.

Industry advisors help to ensure that students graduate with a professionally relevant qualification and graduates are working for studios such as Blitz, Crytec, Jagex and Mindshapes. The strengths of the course were confirmed when a group of graduates won a BAFTA in the ‘Ones To Watch’ category of the 2012 British Academy Video Game Awards.
