About the course
Do you want to create your own games? Could you run your own games company?
NFTS Games aims to give you everything you need to make high-quality games across a range of styles, formats and platforms.
The two-year MA course has an ‘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.
Entry Requirements
We actively seek a diverse and interesting group of people who have something new to bring into the games development fold.
Successful applicants have come to us with previous qualifications from across the arts, sciences and humanities; and from all walks of life as far as profession and practice is concerned. Games development experience is welcome, but by no means essential.
We will consider applicants who do not have a degree if they have an impressive portfolio, a creative track record or an alternative qualification.

Scholarships
The NFTS is committed to ensuring it is open to students of genuine ability, no matter what their background or financial circumstances.
In the last year, 8 in 10 UK students received support, with more than £950,000 given out in total.
As an institution that develops the next generation of creative talent we feel a special responsibility to ensure our creative industries reflect the full diversity of our country. 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.
All long term resident UK students, once they are offered a place on an MA or full time Diploma programme, are invited to apply for an NFTS funding award. Awards may consist of either a bursary or a scholarship or a combination of both.
NFTS Scholarships are donated by individuals or organisations with a direct involvement in the film, games and television industries. They often include a mentorship and an individual donor may take in interest in your work.
The NFTS funding awards contribute directly to tuition fees and may be between £1,000 and £10,000. They are not re-payable by the student.
They are only available to UK permanent residents.
