Games and Interactivity
Working in gaming is about understanding where media comes in to play.
We understand the integral role gaming plays in today’s society – to the point where it has developed a culture of its own. That’s why we offer games and interactivity courses at Swinburne.
Our games and interactivity courses provide the opportunity to understand the role of games in modern society and how gaming is developing as a cultural industry. You’ll tackle a range of analog and digital game projects: It’s our way of helping you develop practical, research and communication skills in a game lab environment. We also address how games and other media are increasingly merging, by combining units from media and communications courses.
By the time you graduate, you’ll have the confidence and skills to apply your knowledge to the workplace. Future careers can be found in game and interface design, interactive content creation, rapid prototyping and more.
