You'll collaborate in small and large interdisciplinary groups designing, developing and playtesting games in a studio environment. Engage in subjects involving game development, animation, media studies, psychology, business, and software engineering - all leading toward the development of an original game title in your final year.

Augmenting your gaming study, Applied Innovation teaches you to make decisions of impact, based on analytical and strategic thinking, human understanding and respect for future generations.
