The Institute of Digital Games was formed in January 2013 and is
comprised of a team of international multi-disciplinary researchers.
The Institute runs an MSc programme in games covering Game Design,
Game Technology and Game Analysis/Criticism. We run regular research
talks delivered by local and foreign guest speakers, industry events

and events hub for local game makers, students, researchers and
educators. More information about the Institute’s staff, areas of
