Games development and publishing are large national and international industries offering many opportunities for graduates both in the UK and abroad. The course consists of a number of strands, enabling you to tailor it to suit your interests:

• game design
• 3D graphics
• animation
• game programming
• virtual reality
• project planning

It also deals comprehensively with computer games, whereas other courses tend to narrow the programme to just one or two aspects. Whilst studying game design and project management, you will also specialise in one of the following:

• game graphics – you will learn to use industry-standard software tools, and study level and character-building as well as animation
• game programming – the programming languages used in the games industry and also console development

We are constantly working with game developers to ensure that the course teaches you the skills that are relevant to the games industry. However, the skills you develop on this course will also be relevant to jobs in other areas.
