Game audio is a rapidly expanding and extremely creative area of the video games industry. Sound Design for Video Games is designed to prepare you, both creatively and technically, to work as a sound designer and eventually an audio lead or audio director. Taught and mentored by top video games sound designers, you will learn how to create the sounds that brings the world of the video game to life. You will also learn to use audio middleware software, such as Wwise and FMOD, to implement your sounds into game engines like Unity.

On this course, you will learn:

• To create game sound effects both from your own recordings and sourced from commercial libraries.
• How to use inexpensive and readily available field recording equipment to produce atmospheres, spot-effects and Foley.
• Technical skills like creating and implementing Foley, weapons, impacts and vehicle sounds.
• Business skills to help you produce a winning portfolio that will help you into a new career.
• Collaborative and remote working skills, vital in such a connected global industry.
• To imagine a sound world that fits perfectly with the ethos of the game.

On successful completion of your course, you will be awarded a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Chichester. All UK degrees, including those gained through ThinkSpace Education, are recognised worldwide. The qualification is fully accredited in the UK and subject to regular quality control, review, and external invigilation to ensure the highest academic standards are maintained.

The graduation ceremony takes place in Chichester each year where you will receive your degree alongside your fellow students and the rest of the university’s graduates. If you cannot attend the ceremony in the UK, we can send your certification to you through the post.
