Investigate, instantiate and iterate the future of gameplay
Games are one of the fastest-growing creative industries, shaping how we play, learn, and connect. The BA (Hons) Game Creation at Kingston School of Art is not a typical game design course. Inspired by the spirit of early creators, it prepares you to broadly understand, apply and experience all aspects of game creation, from ideation and design to development and deployment.
You will take a transdisciplinary approach, learning by combining creative, design driven, narrative and systems thinking with technical and audience driven application. Where other courses focus on niche specialisms, Game Creation develops connectors who see the bigger picture. Ultimately, this course aims to empower you to extend your impact beyond existing markets – using games not only to entertain, but also to create solutions, speculate, and play with undiscovered possibilities.
You will graduate as an adaptive, ambitious, and inclusive creator, ready to shape the future of interactive media and a world through games.
Modules include:
Thinking Through Play
Narrative Systems and Experience Design
Experimental Practice: Games Beyond Entertainment
