This is some info given on the website about the course -
Design for Games at Plymouth is much more than learning how to create yet another point-and-shoot scenario – although to be able to do that calls for a tremendous range of skills. Our students learn about the commercial entertainment industry and we equip them to find career openings, but the programme takes a much wider cultural view. It recognises that games technology is being put to a huge range of purposes, for example in education, medical simulation and architecture, and is informing the spread of new ideas about social and democratic design. The meaning and value of games and play are changing and deepening.
