Computing for Games BSc (Hons)

Master the skills needed to shape the games of the future by studying games through the lens of computer science. Building upon industry-standard software, you’ll implement new tools to extend what is possible with existing engines and program games that push technical boundaries.You'll collaborate with other students in the Games Academy – from animators through to sound designers – to develop a multi-disciplinary approach with creativity at its heart. By the time you graduate, you'll be confident in pursuing a career in software development, in the games industry and beyond.You will:Get under the hood of video game engines like Unity and Unreal while learning a range of programming languages like Python, C# and C++Engage with the latest technologies, including procedural content generation, deep learning, and mixed reality to develop broadly transferable skillsBlend art and science while developing teamwork and communication skills that are highly desired in the industryCreate an 'optimisation mindset' by learning to work within platform constraintsMake games collaboratively with artists, animators, composers, designers, writers and other programmers
