About

Highlights

Develop your problem-solving skills and knowledge in mathematics to develop realistic scenes in gaming environments.
Complete two separate degrees in four years full-time.
Specialise in applied and computational mathematics, decision science, statistical science.
Specialise in animation, digital media, game design or software technologies.
Be a part of Queensland’s leading video game industry, responsible for titles such as Hellboy and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

You can use your problem-solving skills to develop realistic games in a competitive gaming environment. A decade ago, people probably wouldn’t have noticed if the cape the game hero was wearing didn’t flap in the wind as he ran or that the boxes in the corner of the room of the dungeon didn’t fall over when they were run into a fight.

Today, serious gamers notice and demand this type of realism in their virtual worlds. This is where your maths and problem-solving capabilities come into play. Complex formulae are used in games design to create realistic scenes, and knowledge of mathematics will undoubtedly aid your understanding.

Undertake core units from your Bachelor of Mathematics and Bachelor of Games and Interactive Environments, including:

applied, computational discrete and financial mathematics

mathematical modelling

operations research

scientific computation and visualisation

statistics and statistical modelling

digital media

game design.

This double degree aims to provide opportunities to develop your skills and knowledge in mathematics, games and interactive environments. You will develop the ability to apply mathematics, statistics, computational methods, and decision science to real-world problems.

The Bachelor of Games and Interactive Environments aims to provide you with the necessary skills, knowledge, and values to be successfully employed within the computer games industry or to develop game applications for various industry sectors (for example, government, finance, education).

Career

Careers and outcomes

In 2022, Queensland saw an 11% increase in full-time game-related jobs. This translated into over 300 new local positions, accounting for nearly half of all game development jobs created nationwide!

Gain practical skills using the latest computer technology to enable you to solve real-world problems and prepare you for a career within the games and interactive environments industry, as well as in a wide range of areas such as finance, investment, information technology, environmental management, health, marketing, logistics, defence, media, education and research.

Professional recognition

The Software Technologies major of the Bachelor of Games and Interactive Environments is accredited by the Australian Computer Society (ACS). ACS accreditation is internationally recognised by the Seoul Accord. You may also be eligible for membership in the Australian Mathematical Society (AMS), ANZIAM (Australia and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics, a division of AMS), the Australian Society for Operations Research Inc. (ASOR) and the Statistical Society of Australia.

Research pathways

You may pursue your passion and extend your studies with an honours research program.

Honours is an ideal pathway for high-achieving graduates to enter the doctoral program (PhD) and provide a broader range of career opportunities, including research, analytic or teaching positions. Consult your course coordinator in the second or third year to see the projects available within your areas of interest.

To be eligible for an honours course, you must have a bachelor degree in information technology, mathematics, science or property economics (depending on the course) or its equivalent, completed within the last five years, with a minimum grade point average of 4.5 (on QUT’s 7-point scale).
