Communication and Media and Game Design Studies, BA Hons FullTime
These rating are not regarding the 50% game design studies side. This part of the course would be 5 stars across the board. For a reletively new course, the lectures and staff involved have nailed it. The comms and media side, however, is lacking. Staff seem uninterested, course content seems irrelevant and assignments have no correlation to content taught. Skills required to succeed are assumed to be known to students. It is in stark contrast to the games design side. read more
