[DiGRA UK] game-related programmes?

[Peter Howell]

Hiya,

Yes, at the University of Portsmouth we have two undergraduate courses:

- BSc(Hons) Computer Games Technology
- BSc(Hons) Computer Games Enterprise

and one Masters course:

- MSc Computer Games Technology

On these, the modules that specifically include sociocultural aspects of
games are both optional final year undergraduate modules:

- Games Research
- Psychological Theory for Game Designers

A number of other modules also touch on elements of culture and society
too.

Hope that is helpful info :)
