Computer Games Technology
Developed in consultation with the games industry, our computer games technology degree focuses heavily on programming and combines in-depth academic knowledge with the practical skills that employers are looking for in computer scientists , games developers and games designers.
We work closely with companies such as Microsoft, Sony and Kwalee, as well as with our fast-growing, local independent game studios which are within a few minutes walk from our City Centre Campus.
What's covered in the course?
On this course, you’ll have the opportunity to study an enviable range of disciplines that include the production of both entertainment and educational ‘serious games’.
We have worked closely with the games industry to develop a comprehensive course that covers the essential subject areas for anyone wanting to work in the sector: computer programming, ‘coding’ and basic programming, as well as the concepts behind game engine development, working with game consoles and associated hardware.
As part of your studies, you will have the opportunity to work with both 2D and 3D game worlds, to learn how to programme game engines, work with augmented and virtual reality and study mobile technologies, graphics programming and artificial intelligence.
Associated with the curriculum is the opportunity for students from all years to participate in internationally recognised game development competitions, for example Global Game Jam and the Microsoft Imagine Cup, which is one of the world’s premier technology competitions. This gives you the chance to showcase your technical and creative skills to a wider audience. Our students have twice gone on to represent the university at the national finals of the Microsoft Imagine Cup, an extremely prestigious contest that sees an incredibly high quality of entries.
The course also prepares you for life in the real world, so you’ll learn how to work effectively as a team player, and develop skills in evaluating and communicating information effectively both verbally and in a written form. Several modules use a work-based learning approach to equip you with the skills needed to work as part of game development teams.
As part of the real-world preparation, you will also have the chance take part in a year-long work placement in the games and associated industries and we have a dedicated placement office who can help you find a suitable post. Having industry experience can really help to boost your CV.
Throughout your course, you’ll receive the support of expert teaching staff, all of who are authorities in their industry, having worked in computer science and software development. We have internationally recognised research and practice based interests which include applying computer games technology to healthcare, engineering and the built environment.
I enjoy spending time with my new found colleagues during and after class. I find working as a team to be a great and enjoyable experience thanks to them. Radu Dumitriu
