Abu Dhabi University partners with Pearson on video game design degree

Abu Dhabi University (ADU) has entered a partnership with Pearson Education Limited to support its Bachelor of Arts in Video Game Design program. The collaboration centers on using Pearson's digital learning content, platforms, and academic support to enhance teaching and student employability, including opportunities for Pearson-recognised digital credentials.

What changed

ADU will adopt Pearson’s digital learning resources and platforms for its video game design degree. The arrangement also includes faculty development, product training, and teaching support, aimed at integrating AI-enabled learning and stronger industry engagement into the curriculum. Additionally, students can pursue Pearson-recognised digital credentials through eligible activities, and some may join Pearson’s Campus Ambassador Program.

Who is affected

Current and prospective ADU students enrolled in or considering the Bachelor of Arts in Video Game Design will access Pearson materials and platforms. Faculty members will participate in development workshops and training. Selected students may be recruited into Pearson’s Campus Ambassador Program, which connects students with industry-related opportunities.

Practical next steps

For students: look for updates from ADU about accessing Pearson resources and any new digital credentials through eligible courses or activities. For prospective students: consider the program if you value access to external digital content and potential industry engagement through Pearson. For faculty: participate in the planned workshops and seminars to align teaching with Pearson tools and industry needs.
