Course Overview

Accredited by BCS, this Computer Games Development course offers a skill-set that will help you gain employment as a game programmer. You could find yourself at the heart of the game development process, from writing code, testing it and fixing bugs, to producing tools for other members of the team to use.

Whether you're interested in artificial intelligence, game physics or cross-platform graphics rendering, the computer games industry is a thriving sector that offers many opportunities to work with publishers, independent studios or middleware producers.

This Games Development course places an emphasis on programming for computer games, but it also prepares you for a career in software development and is your first step towards a rewarding career in the creative industries.

You'll learn by doing, making use of high-performance computers and working individually and in teams to produce games to tight deadlines. You'll work on real problems that will prepare you for employment, and develop key skills to support lifelong learning. 

Teaching

You will spend 16 hours each week in lectures, tutorials and practical sessions. You will also spend four hours per week, per module, on coursework, general reading and other preparation. You can also be part of our active Computer Games Society and enjoy company visits and guest lectures from industry professionals.
