Computer Gameplay Design and Production BSc (Hons)

In your first year, youll be introduced to the Unreal Game Engine. The practical work is underpinned with theory-based modules based on games design documentation, small-scale group work, and the fundamentals of gameplay. Youll also have the option to study the narrative in games, the impact of video game realism, scripting in Unity, or 3D modelling.

During your second year, youll learn how to script in high-level languages. This allows you to create quests, missions and demonstrate your creative designs in the games engine. Youll put these skills into practice as a junior member in a collaborative group project. As an individual, you will also create a paper-based game project using gameplay applications. Doing this will increase your understanding of the wide-ranging aspects of gameplay in modern games. There's also collaborative group work and options that include Indie Game Development in Unity, Unreal Engine Frameworks and Game Interface Design.

In your final year, you could take on a lead role in a game development project. You will also create a final year game, project or research piece for your portfolio to take into industry. You can pick an option from a wide array of choices that include Technical Games Design, Military Games Design or A.I. Scripting for Games.
