If you're imaginative, tech-curious, and passionate about games, the BA (Hons) Game Design course at the University of Wolverhampton offers a future-focused path into one of the world’s fastest-growing creative industries.
We were among the first in the UK to deliver a dedicated Game Design degree - and we continue to evolve, matching the pace of change in game technology, XR, AI, and digital art. This course is a blend of artistic expression, game theory, and hands-on production, guided by academics with both teaching and industry experience.
You’ll have access to industry-standard studios and professional hardware, including full-body motion capture, immersive XR technology, pen and touch-screen workstations, and camera tracking equipment. The same tools used in major game studios are available to you from day one, ensuring you build confidence and fluency with every stage of the production process. You will also have free access to professional game creation software, maximising the opportunity for you to bring your creative vision to life.
Graduates from our course have gone on to become game designers, technical artists, studio founders and more - including a CEO of a 100+ employee game studio. You’ll be supported to develop not only your creative ideas, but also the practical, technical and professional skills to bring them to life.
