Course Overview
About BA (Hons) Computer Games Design
BA (Hons) Computer Games Design appears as an Active full-time weekday bachelor's with University for the Creative Arts under the LCCA partner flag. Study location on our records is the Aldgate campus in London (The Amp, Commercial Road, Whitechapel). The CRM category tag is Computing.
Where Games Art emphasises visual craft, a Design title typically centres on gameplay systems, player experience, and how interactive products are structured — still within creative computing, but a different professional emphasis. AF Education keeps this overview unique to the Design award and does not reuse Art-page wording or invent module names, engines, or grade tariffs.
Aldgate's East London setting can suit applicants who want a creative campus base with weekday teaching. Speak with an adviser if you need help choosing between Computer Games Art and Computer Games Design at this partner, or if you want to check eligibility and documentation before applying. This page reflects course ID 525 facts only.
Design-focused games study still lives in the Computing category in our filters, so it can appear beside programming-heavy titles even though the emphasis is creative design. Clarify your portfolio strengths with an adviser so they route you toward Art or Design without guessing.
