Start your career and get ahead of the game.
Turn your passion into a career with a Games qualification from SAE. More than purely a source of entertainment, the Games industry today is thriving with a rapidly growing number of applications and uses. In a matter of months, you’ll learn the key fundamentals in game development.
At SAE you won’t find yourself in a lecture with 300 people or even in a traditional lecture at all; you’ll be in a studio environment using industry-standard software. Your growth and development will be assessed through the completion of industry-based projects, not theoretical based essays.
In preparation for an industry that commands agility and adaptability, you’ll cut your creative teeth on projects in partnership with your course peers. You’ll work in a team to pitch, design, plan and deliver a game in response to a brief. Your project will extend on your design and scripting skills sets, to allow you to craft a broader range of gameplay systems and features. You'll be assessed on collaborative project-based work – with no exams!
