About Msc Games Development And Design in University of Lincoln
MSc Games Development and Design is designed to build on students' existing computer programming skills, providing them with the knowledge and expertise to develop contemporary video games using a variety of advanced tools and platforms such as virtual reality.
Industry context is an important aspect of this programme, and students can study game design topics that are applicable to working within the sector and to independent game creation, as well as familiarise themselves with research techniques that are appropriate for further postgraduate study.
The course is informed by the work and research of academic staff who specialise in games, with a combination of industry experience and research backgrounds in relevant areas.
