Game Design and Development FdA

If you’re passionate about creating games – not just playing them – and want to take your first steps toward a career in the games industry, our Foundation Degree (FdA) in Game Design and Development is the perfect starting point.

As a budding game developer, you’ll explore the art, design, and technology behind games, building the skills to bring your ideas to life. Whether your interests lie in 3D modelling, digital art, storytelling or coding, this course provides a solid foundation for you to develop your creative and technical ability.

You'll study at City of Portsmouth College, one of our partner colleges, while benefiting from the award-winning expertise of the University of Portsmouth, an industry-recognised leader in games education. As a University of Portsmouth student, you’ll also have access to our support and facilities, including the University Library with its multimedia software and social learning spaces.

When you graduate, you’ll have the skills to step into professional game development, or pursue further study, with the opportunity to progress to the University of Portsmouth for a full degree in Computer Games Art or Computer Games Design.
