Each Masters student works on a game-related project in the final semester of the course. The projects are often directly linked with our partners in the games industry, with some of the students working within the respective development studio, and others working in the Game Lab at Newcastle. The project topics cover a wide range, and can be suggested by the student, by the faculty, or by an industrial partner.
