Computer Games (Design), BA Hons FullTime
For a game design course, there is surprisingly little actual designing being done within. This is because they opt in to make sure the students are at least somewhat proficient in all game making related skills (art, modeling, programming etc.). The course is very non-theoretical and practice based. It teaches its subjects from square one, which is great for people new to this field, but those who took games design in previous years (ie college) may find the course somewhat redundant. No real complaints about teachers.
