“Every new game is a voice in the darkness.”<\/strong><\/p>\n– Anna Anthropy, Rise of the Videogame Zinesters<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Launched in 2025, the MA Interactive Storytelling Design: Video Games and Beyond <\/strong>is a groundbreaking interdisciplinary Humanities programme that introduces ambitious students to the ever-growing field of narrative experience in which audiences take a meaningful, participatory role. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These experiences – from video games and tabletop roleplaying games to virtual reality and interactive installation art – are becoming central to the way we understand, explain and shape the modern world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our students learn the foundational skills, techniques and theories that underpin all interactive storytelling, growing their technical and creative skills both individually and in close-knit teams. By the end of the programme, you will have an extensive portfolio of creative and critical work, a host of new skills with which to continue your career, and a lifelong network of friends, collaborators and mentors to draw upon as you take your next steps.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

About This Website<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This website is run by our MA students to showcase their work, reflect on their processes and celebrate the incredible range of experiences they have gathered across the course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
