Key Course Facts
Course Description
If you have a degree in an art and design or computer games-related subject, our course will allow you to specialise in games art at Master's level.
Based in the inspiring environment of our new Compass House Games Centre, you’ll learn all about best practice in the games industry. We’ll encourage you to work in design production teams, tackling a series of creative and technical challenges with programmers and industry professionals. You'll develop your design skills and learn how to create and publish successful games across a range of platforms.
Global Science and Technology Forum logo Cambridge accounts for nearly 20% of the UK computer games industry, so it's a great place to study as we enjoy excellent links with the major games developers in the area. What's more, our Computer Games Centre offers studio space to local indie developers, who'll share their knowledge and experience with you.
We're partners with the Global Science & Technology Forum, allowing our students access to cutting-edge research materials.
While you're studying, we'll encourage you to take on work placements and collaborate on live projects with the games industry. You’ll also have the chance to enter games events, such as Brains Eden, which Anglia Ruskin hosts every year.
This course runs in parallel with our MSc Computer Games Development (Computing), reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of games creation.
