    About

    About this course

    Gain a solid grounding in computer science, set within the context of games programming on this British Computer Society accredited degree.2 You’ll get to focus on parallel and concurrent programming, artificial intelligence, graphics and games architectures. Then in your third year, you’ll have the chance to complete a large project in an area of your choice.

    Our facilities are kitted out with latest industry-standard equipment, including high-performance workstations, gigabit networking, 3D printers, robots, a 3D immersive cube, motion capture, AR, VR and MR.

    Pursue your interest in gaming beyond the lecture theatre with our societies and extra-curricular opportunities such as games jams, hackathons and programming competitions. You could compete in international events like the Microsoft Imagine Cup. Or rise to the challenge of creating a computer game over a weekend in our Three Thing Game.

    You’ll benefit from our strong links with companies like EA, Sony and Black Marble with frequent talks by experts in the trade. Many of them our own graduates working around the world. And gain outstanding tech industry experience on a paid placement year with the likes of BT, BAE Systems, Microsoft or IBM.

    Throughout your degree, you’re expected to study for 1,200 hours per year. That’s based on 200 hours per 20 credit module. And it includes scheduled hours, time spent on placement and independent study. How this time is divided across the year varies and depends on the module you are studying.

    How you'll be assessed depends on the course you study, and the modules you choose. You may be assessed through a mix of examinations, coursework, presentations and group projects.
