Games Design

Our Level 3 Game Design course combines creative practice with game design principles, giving you the opportunity to explore how visual design supports gameplay, storytelling and player experience. You'll learn how to create characters, environments and game assets that do more than look impressive — they communicate ideas, guide players and help build immersive game worlds.

Throughout the course, you'll work on a range of practical projects that develop your creativity, technical ability and problem-solving skills. You'll learn to think like both an artist and a designer, creating visually engaging work that responds to real design briefs and industry-inspired challenges.

Assessment is varied throughout the course and is designed to develop both your practical and academic knowledge. You will be assessed through digital sketchbooks, portfolios and an end of year exhibition.

Based on your GCSE results, we will work with you to determine the most appropriate level to start your studies with us. Achieving higher grades may enable you to progress more quickly towards employment or your next step, so we encourage you to achieve the best results possible. Our approach is personalised to each learner. Please note that if you do not achieve a GCSE grade 4 or above in English and Maths, you will be required to continue studying these subjects alongside your chosen course.

You can progress into employment or university in a range of degrees, including BA (Hons) Visual Art or FdA Visual Effects and Post Production through the University of Suffolk at East Coast College.
