Enrollment now open for our Spring Unity programming courses – spaces filling quickly
Most Unity courses throw theory at you and hope it sticks. We skip that. Instead, you'll spend your time building actual games from scratch—the kind you'd want to play yourself. By autumn 2025, you could be creating experiences that surprise even you.
Start Your Journey
First eight weeks focus on understanding how Unity really thinks. You'll work with physics systems, collision detection, and player input—but always through building something tangible. A platformer that actually feels good to play. A puzzle game that makes people lean forward. The theory comes naturally when you need it.
Weeks nine through sixteen get intense. You pick a genre that excites you—maybe it's a roguelike, maybe it's narrative-driven. Then you build it. Properly. With version control, debugging sessions, and code reviews. This is where students usually realise they've stopped asking "how do I" and started asking "which approach works best."
Final twelve weeks belong to you. Design and build a complete game that showcases what you've learned. Previous students have created everything from atmospheric horror experiences to competitive multiplayer prototypes. The goal isn't perfection—it's proving you can take an idea from concept to playable build.
You stop copying scripts from forums and start writing systems that solve your specific problems. Students tell us this shift usually happens around week ten—suddenly everything clicks and you're thinking in C# naturally.
When something breaks (and it will), you'll know how to diagnose it. Not through guesswork, but by understanding how Unity's component system works under the hood. Debugging becomes almost satisfying.
Technical skills matter, but so does making things that feel good. You'll learn to balance performance with polish, complexity with accessibility. The kind of judgment that only comes from building things repeatedly.
By early 2026, you'll have three to five completed projects you can show. Not perfect, but functional and representative of your growth. That's what potential collaborators want to see—evidence you can finish what you start.
I came in knowing basically nothing about coding. Honestly thought I'd dropped out by week three. But something about building actual games made it stick. Now I'm working on a stealth game prototype that people genuinely want to play. Still can't believe I wrote all that code myself.
