We've designed the Diploma
in Advanced Game Development with a comprehensive curriculum to prepare
you to enter the gaming industry confident and job-ready. Leveraging KPU's
hands-on approach to learning, this two-year, full-time program delivers you
the core practical and creative skills employers look for, including art,
design, programming and production. Art courses give you the skills to produce
your own art assets for your games. You'll learn environment and character
modelling, texturing, animation, technical art and procedural art, while also
learning foundational artistic theory that can be applied to any creative
medium. Design courses cover in-depth design theory, while giving you hands-on,
practical experience with leading-edge industry game engines and design tools,
such as Unreal, Unity and the Adobe Creative Suite. You'll also learn crucial
soft skills, such as critical analysis, creative problem solving, communication
and collaboration.
Career Path
Graduates of the Diploma in
Advanced Game Development have the knowledge, skills and confidence to
work in the game industry in one of
the many game developer roles, such as designer, artist, programmer and project
manager. Students that apply themselves and maintain a high academic
standing are more than capable of compiling a professional portfolio/demo reel
and applying for work prior to graduation.
