At Middlesbrough College, our Level 3 Games Design course prepares you for the realities of the modern games industry by teaching you how games are actually made. Based in our cutting-edge MC Digital facilities, home to industry leading programming suites, video editing suites, esports studio, a games design suite, a full TV and film studio, VR headsets, 360 cameras, and motion capture suits, this programme focuses on the game creation pipeline, equipping you with the practical, technical, and creative skills required to build playable digital experiences from the ground up.
Throughout the course, you will take digital games from initial concept right through to design, and development. Working both independently and collaboratively in production teams, you will mirror real-world studio environments to deliver vocational projects and industry briefs. Alongside developing your practical skills, you will gain an understanding of the diverse roles and responsibilities across the industry, discovering how concept artists, 3D modellers, animators, programmers, technical artists, and game testers work together to bring titles to life.
Whether your goal is to progress to a specialised degree or step into a junior studio role, this course provides the technical grounding, portfolio, and collaborative mindset needed to kick-start your journey in the games industry.
MC Digital has exciting partnerships with local and national companies to benefit your study journey. These include Sony, Bluezoo, Dink, Observer Interactive, Behaviour Interactive, Double Eleven, Microsoft, DNEG, Rebellion, Creative Assembly, Framestore and Sumo Digital.
