Games Development BSc (Hons)
Course overview
The BSc (Hons) Games Development involves using game engines to implement the gameplay mechanics. There is a need in the industry for graduates with a thorough knowledge of games design but also with the ability to technically implement it. You explore core games design alongside programming (C++ and scripting for game engines). This course includes an optional work placement year, at no extra cost.
You study several shared group modules where you work with programmers and artists in the development of games. In the final year you follow your own specific area of specialization through the 60-credit project module.
Career opportunities
This course provides you with a range of technical and design skills, making you the perfect candidate for a career as an independent games developer.
Entrepreneurial support from University-based Launchpad helps you to start your career as an independent developer or small company. Many small studios now take advantage of Kickstarter funding to generate the funds to develop their games. As a graduate of this course, you have the skills to put forward a polished proof of concept to attract funding.
As the course provides a range of transferable skills in real-time environments such as Unity and Unreal, you are also well suited for careers in virtual reality or real-time visualization and interactive experiences.
My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
