HNC and HND Computer Games Development
The HNC and HND Computer Games Development awards allows the candidate to develop a range of contemporary vocational skills relating to the development of computer games appropriate to employment at junior developer level (or equivalent) and provide a flexible curriculum to meet the needs of candidates in employment, recognising their existing experience.
The awards gives the candidate the opportunity to work as part of a games design team and to integrate the knowledge and skills contained in the mandatory and optional units, as a large proportion of units take a ‘project’ approach, using the product of a previous assessment as the foundation of the next. Such project scenarios will all favour a games design and development approach, to give the candidate a true reflection of how items being studied integrate and relate to industrial practice.
