Bachelor of Information Technology - Games Design and Development

Behind every great game is a blend of creativity, storytelling and technical skill. The Games Design and Development major within our Bachelor of Information Technology prepares you to design engaging gameplay experiences and bring them to life through interactive digital environments. Throughout your games development studies, you’ll explore areas such as game design, user experience, storytelling, level design and interactive systems. You’ll learn how to shape gameplay mechanics, design player journeys and create immersive worlds, while building the technical skills in interactive media design and games production to develop and refine your ideas. You’ll develop your work in our IT Innovation Hub – a 247, state-of-the-art creative environment featuring advanced game development labs, a dedicated VR and AR studio, and Western Australia’s only university-based Esports Gaming Hub. Here, you’ll design, test and refine your ideas using industry-standard tools and technologies in a collaborative setting.
