This Serious Games course explores the usability and requirements of games technology systems that can teach and train all types of people. Serious Games can be used to simulate buildings, train medical practitioners, provide rehabilitation for patients or drive behavioural change using game mechanics. You'll discover the approaches to knowledge acquisition and skills development which follow the behaviourist and cognitivist theories found in gameplay. Serious Games has become a major career destination for our games and digital media design graduates. Many are now working and leading projects at architecture firms, retail companies and virtual and augmented reality sectors. Our course is ideal preparation for these sectors. You'll balance design and development with research and analysis, gaining the confidence and skills to lead and advise on projects.
