The Rookies Award for 'Production Excellence - Mobile Games' 2023

Content Tabs

We have a ‘games innovation’ ethos, giving you the opportunity to create complete games in a unique environment, collaborating with students from across the School – from composers and sound designers to marketing and distribution students – learning not only how to create games, but how to release them and promote them across indie games and Triple-A.

You’ll get access to high-spec gaming systems and related tools, working on both solo and group projects, with plenty of opportunities to experiment, innovate and excel.

You’ll also have the opportunity to develop industry contacts through events and visits from professionals and experts.

 

COURSE FACILITIES

As an NFTS student, you will have 24/7 access to the NFTS Games Design and Development Lab. In the dedicated studios you will have your own desk with a dual monitor setup, powered by Alienware Aurora development workstations, build around the latest AMD Ryzen and Nvidia RTX technology. All workstations are kitted out with industry standard software such as Unity, Unreal Engine, GitHub, Adobe Creative Cloud, Reality Capture, Maya and ZBrush. Additionally, you will have access to Android tablets, VR headsets, drawing tablets, game controllers and whatever else you might need to create unique gameplay experiences. 

Funding Available

The NFTS awards more scholarships and bursaries to British students, relative to the size of our student body, than almost any other educational institution in the UK. If you’re successful at gaining a place on the course, you will be contacted by our funding team with details on how to apply for one of these scholarships.
