Your journey begins with an introductory foundation year, designed to develop your skills, confidence, and core knowledge in a supportive and creative environment. This year helps you build strong artistic and academic foundations, ensuring you’re fully prepared to progress smoothly into the undergraduate degree. \

Using industry standard software in our dedicated design labs, you’ll create playable prototypes that bring your imagination to life. \
