Computer Science (Games)

By following the Games pathway, you will gain a deep understanding of the architecture of computer systems, a thorough knowledge of practical software engineering in multimedia contexts and a strong ability to program complex graphical applications in a modern programming language.

Throughout the programme, you’ll engage with real-world scenarios to enhance your learning. You can spend time in industry with a year-long or modular placement, develop professional, and employability skills and even pursue a personal interest in computer science by proposing a project that showcases your knowledge and skills.

In your final year you will unleash your creativity and undertake a substantial piece of research, applying theoretical knowledge and problem-solving skills to a computer game development-related technical, software, research or business problem. Your final year project is an excellent opportunity for you to draw together skills in experimental study design, critical interpretation of data, presentation and project management.
