BSc (Hons) Computer Games Development

Program Description

The course takes a hands-on approach to games development, calling on you to work on games and creative-technology projects from the start, turning game ideas into playable demos. In the first year, you learn a variety of relevant techniques, including programming and 2D graphics for games, as well as researching the market and generating ideas for original games.

You work in our specialist creative-technologies and game-development labs, and use a range of cutting-edge technologies - such as motion capture, green screen, VR and XR - to develop your practice and build a professional portfolio.

From your second year, you select one of three areas in which to specialise:

  • games programming - learn industry-standard programming techniques and languages, including C# and C++, so you can turn designed gameplay into a playable form
  • games design - design immersive player experiences and game environments, levels, mechanics and game systems, including creating in-game challenges
  • games graphics - create artwork, models and animations tailored for use in games, using the latest graphics techniques in game engines

  • Gain experience with motion capture rigs, virtual reality and 3D sculpting
  • Challenge yourself by solving complex creative problems; presenting new game concepts and ideas; and building your team working and project-coordination skills
