Dive into the world of game creation using game engines, console gamepads, flight/vehicle controls, and VR devices. Work in our Game Development Lab to build a portfolio of games that demonstrate your technical prowess in gameplay programming and developing engaging player experiences.

This course equips you with the necessary technical skills to develop games both independently and within a multidisciplinary environment, backed by industry standard practices.

You’ll have the opportunity to develop games for platforms such as PC, mobile and VR. With a focus on software development, you’ll become adept in games programming using industry relevant languages and mathematical concepts through popular game engines. You’ll work with other students to develop games as part of a games studio environment, simulated in our dedicated Game Development Lab.

Teaching methods include lectures, tutorials, seminars and laboratory sessions. You will be encouraged to develop independent study skills as well as work with other students on group projects.

As well as assessments that count towards your degree, there are also ongoing opportunities for feedback and consolidating your learning.
