The MA Games course at Norwich University of the Arts seeks to nurture your aspirations of working in the games and wider creative industries, by supporting and developing your existing creative skillset. Our vibrant, creative community offers a stimulating environment for understanding games as a cross-disciplinary endeavour, emphasising creativity over mere industry production.
Game design is a dynamic and iterative process and you will be encouraged to adopt an attitude of curiosity and experimentation with ideas and processes. The aim is to explore how you can use the cultural medium of games to explore an issue or topic that you are passionate about.
You will be challenged to take creative risks, develop your aesthetic voice, and conceptually push the boundaries of game design, supported by theoretical, cultural, and historical research informing your practice-based approach.
You will have access to cutting-edge technology and industry-leading software in our labs, as well as the expert staff across our TIGA-award-winning games department, who specialise in 3D asset development, 2D concept art, game design and Unreal game development.
Entrants should normally have achieved a BA (Hons) / BSc Degree of 2:1 or above (or its equivalent), in a subject related to your proposed course of study.
Applicants who hold a Degree from another discipline may also be considered for entry, subject to the submission of a satisfactory portfolio of art, design or media-related work in support of their application.
Those with industry experience or relevant skills from non-traditional backgrounds are encouraged to apply, including individuals currently employed. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, please contact us for guidance before applying.
