Media Design School Announces New Games CourseAuckland-based Media Design School has introduced a new qualification for budding game developers - the Diploma of Interactive Gaming.
This 32-week diploma is designed for students who want to pursue game programming study at an undergraduate level, and leads to the Graduate Diploma of Game Development.
"The new Diploma of Interactive Gaming enables students to fast track their way into the games business," says Caroline Booth Media Design School's Marketing Communications Manager.
Previously, students who wanted to pursue game programming study at Media Design School needed to hold a Bachelor of Computer Science or equivalent, which involves three to four years worth of study, much of which is not directly related to game programming."
"The Diploma of Interactive Gaming provides an alternative way for programming students to enter our specialist Graduate Diploma of Game Development.
Now our graduates can enter the games industry after two and a half years of intensive, game focused study," explains Caroline.
The course has already received support from the games industry.
Richard Hicks, Executive Producer of Midway Games in the US describes the Diploma of Interactive Gaming as "a valuable addition to Media Design School's cutting edge curriculum.
