Overview

Graduate Certificate - Game Level Design

The Sheridan game-level design courses focus on offering applied, real-world skills development. 

Assignments and class work focus on case studies. 

You'll learn 2D and 3D game design while gaining industry-specific skills in game design and development, story and scripting, cinematography and sound, multi-player systems, game documentation and playtesting.

Developed in response to industry needs, this three-semester program simulates a real work environment in which designers, coders and artists integrate their skills. 

You'll learn to communicate game-level design concepts and gain practical skills to implement and evaluate this knowledge in a simulated work situation. 

Note: This program is held consecutively – from September to August.
