One degree combining Art, Design and Technology.

At UOW Malaysia’s School of Games Development, students don’t just specialise, they learn to collaborate across the full games development cycle. Unlike other institutions that separate Art, Design, and Technology into distinct degrees, our integrated program brings all three together into one. This creates a holistic, industry-relevant experience where students build real games as a team, just as they would in the professional world.

By the time they graduate, our students have mastered cross-functional collaboration: designing, building, and delivering complete, playable products as a unified team. In an industry where solo portfolios often lack real-world relevance, this team-based approach sets our graduates apart. They don’t just show what they can do, they prove what they can build together.

With strong industry links, students gain more than technical skills. They earn financial rewards through real consultancy projects, gain leadership experience, and receive direct feedback from industry mentors.

From award-winning games to short films and computing solutions, our students graduate with a portfolio of fully developed, industry-level projects that showcase their ability to deliver as a professional team.
