Overview

Join a creative, hands-on game design course designed by educators with direct industry experience on the original Tomb Raider series, where you will design, implement, experiment, playtest and bring your ideas to life. Work closely with Game Art and Game Programming students, just like in a real studio. Study at Derby where gaming heritage is still visible on campus and learn the skills needed for both small indie teams and large AAA studios, as well as related fields such as simulation, XR and interactive design. Get real industry experience through live briefs, guest speakers, game jams and networking events.
