Program Overview
This course includes a year-long preparatory course of study to ready you for your Master’s in the UK, developing your English speaking and writing together with your specialist knowledge, research skills and confidence in working alone.
Games that have meaning beyond entertainment are the focus of our new MA Independent & Serious Games degree course at UCA Farnham.
To meet the ever-changing landscape of digital games, which are now being incorporated and used in the worlds of advertising, museums, medical training, psychology, education and theatre, this course examines how games and interactive media are constantly and deeply intertwined. It will help develop you as a new kind of interactive creator, ready for a career in experience design or independent games.
So, if you want to work in smaller and independent games studios, apply interactivity to your established creative practice, or work in industries bordering the games industry, this course is for you.
You'll combine an advanced exploration of games design with solid technical skills, in order to create games at an independent level. You'll also focus on critical analysis and thinking as you work - this will enable you to craft your games mechanics with a supporting message or a specific goal in mind.
You'll be supported in your studies by our team of academic staff and gain insight from our established industry links, and have access to our extensive facilities.
