The Savvy x Alfaisal Game Design LevelUp Program is a 9-month professional program that equips aspiring game designers with the knowledge, practical skills, and industry exposure needed to enter the gaming industry.

Delivered through a collaboration between Savvy Games Group and Alfaisal University, the program combines hands-on learning, professional mentorship, and industry master classes to develop strong foundations in game design, player experience, gameplay systems, and design documentation.
