BA (Hons) Games Design and Creative Writing

Games Design and Creative Writing are a perfect pairing – you need both to create successful games, best-selling narratives and interactive storytelling. Learn from experts who’ve worked on BAFTA-winning games and led projects across Europe, while getting hands-on experience with industry-standard facilities. You’ll have access to cutting-edge technology including our Virtual Reality lounge, complete with Virtuix Omni VR Treadmill and fully equipped Mac and PC labs with the latest digital media software.

You’ll hone your narrative craft through practical workshops and open discussions, taking advantage of the welcoming and student-focused community. Develop key skills to enhance your writer’s approach and experiment with genre, form & style as you create unique and exciting narratives, from Fantasy and Science Fiction to scripts and short stories, poems and non-fiction. Our classes focus on co-creation and the student voice.

You’ll collaborate with students across a range of disciplines, honing your skills in communication, problem-solving and teamwork. You’ll workshop projects with your peers, deepening your skills through peer-support and regular feedback to hone your craft and skillset with each class. With our strong industry connections, you’ll enjoy study trips, guest lectures and writing challenges.

Get involved beyond the classroom by joining the Game Republic’s annual Student Showcase to present your work to top employers, and design, edit & publish your writing in our student-led magazine Document 1.
