Games Design and Development (Virtual Reality) BSc (Hons)

**The University of Greenwich has a long-standing relationship with the British Computer Society (BCS), which accredits our computing degree programmes. As this programme was extensively updated in 2019, it has a current designation of Initial Full Chartered Information Technology Professional (CITP) accreditation for the 2019 intake. The accreditation status is expected to be confirmed in autumn 2022 after the first cohort of students graduate. Students will be kept updated on the status of this, in the very unlikely event that this does not progress as expected the university will support students with individual BCS membership applications at the point of graduation.****Build your technical and creative skills and prepare for a career in video game design, with a focus on virtual reality gaming.**This games design and development degree combines all the aspects of theory, practice and technology essential to your future career.
