You should also submit a small portfolio of creative, story-focussed work which demonstrates your interest in the form.
Helping you to apply
You do not need to have lots of experience in games design, programming or any existing technical skills to apply for this course, but some experience of creative coding and interactive story design will be beneficial.
This could include some form of web design (using HTML/CSS), or the creation of small, simple interactive experiences using free, open-source tools such as Twine, Bitsy, RenPy, Downpour or similar. We would recommend that you explore some of these tools before you begin your studies.
Your submitted portfolio should include a short personal statement (maximum 300 words) explaining why you want to take this course and how you hope it will improve and evolve your creative practice and employability.
Your portfolio should also include between three and five examples of creative work that demonstrates your interest in interactive storytelling. These do not need to be code-driven projects but should demonstrate an aptitude and passion for storytelling in any form, and an understanding of how the opportunities and challenges of those forms inform the impact of storytelling.
