Creative Media Production (Game Development) - HND

The HND in Games will give you vocational skills needed for employment in the industry or for further study. This course runs for one year and students can progress onto an HND after successfully achieving the HNC qualification of this degree level course. It is designed to give each student practical exposure to complete each of the major disciplines needed for game content creation. This includes games produced by both major game studios working on AAA titles and independent production houses working on mobile gaming and other applications such as both AR, VR and the usage of photogrammetry. Students will learn the proper tools and techniques used by industry professionals. This is an industry-led qualification. BTECs are work-related qualifications for students taking their first steps into employment, or for those already in employment and seeking career development opportunities. BTECs provide progression into the workplace and are also designed to meet employer's needs. Therefore, Pearson BTEC Higher National qualifications are widely recognised by the games industry.
