Graduate Certificate - Game Level Design (PGLDS)

The Sheridan game level design courses focus on offering applied, real-world skills development. Assignments and class work focus on case studies. Students will learn both 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 play testing.

Developed in response to industry need, this three-semester program simulates a realistic work environment in which designers, coders and artists integrate their skills. Students will 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 – September to August.

In the final semester, students will collaborate with graduate-level programmers from the Faculty of Applied Science and Technology (FAST) to develop a quality video game capstone project.
