(Games Development) UAL Level 3 Diploma And Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production

Esports and Games Development at Cambridge Regional College firmly places students on their first steps into the Esports and Games industry. Learners will gain experience with multiple tools, software and processes in order to learn how to work in the state of the art companies and ensure they have industry ready skills.
Our students don’t just train to become esports professionals and games developers, they become them from their very first day. Students engage in a variety of projects, live briefs, and assignments in order to put their skills to the test and create a variety of interactive experiences

Year 1, UAL L3 Diploma
UCAS Points – Pass (36) Merit (60) Distinction (84)
The first year of the course introduces students to Programming, Art, Design, Audio, Game Theory and Professional Practice. Students engage with these topics through a series of project-based assignments that enable learners to explore their chosen specialism within a broader game development context. This fully prepares them to embark on their Final Major Project half way through the year where they're encouraged to develop a personal project or collaborate in a team to create a playable game.

Year 2, UAL L3 Extended Diploma
UCAS Points – Pass (72) Merit (120) Distinction (168)
Students progressing onto the second year of the course will further develop their skillset and refine processes to begin producing marketable products. Students will be encouraged to develop projects across a range of platforms, work collaboratively to better understand studio based practice and develop their own specialised portfolios preparing for University and beyond.

Students studying on this course will have the opportunity to engage with:

- Unity, one of the world's most popular development engines
- Adobe suite including Photoshop and Illustrator
- Autodesk Maya and Mudbox, leading products for 3D modelling and animation
- Mobile Development for Android

In addition to this students will have the opportunity to showcase their games to the public as well as industry professionals. With approximately 18% of the UKs game industry here in Cambridge, we are well situated to allow students to network with professionals and get the most out of their time here at Cambridge Regional College. Over the past few years we have been incredibly fortunate to be supported by, and work alongside, companies such as BAFTA, UKIE, ARM, Jagex, Sony, Ninja Theory, Frontier, Conscious Comms, FXP and more.

We run a variety of trips both national and international and explore museums, galleries and cities to find inspiration and research for current projects, students will get the chance to visit a range of games expos such as EGX, EGX Rezzed and Comic Con in order to test new and unreleased titles but most importantly we run trips for students to network with industry professionals, showcase their own games and attend conferences to deepen their understanding of the industry.
