Games Development BSc (Hons)

The Department of Computer Science is an innovative, forward-thinking department with a strong rate of student satisfaction and employability. Teaching quality at the University is highly rated, and the staff on our course are no exception, lead by a Programme Leader with 20 years of games industry experience, and over 30 published Commerical game credits. The course is taught at Thornton Science Park, a modern location that is home to an extensive range of purpose-built facilities, providing you with excellent opportunities to build your learning and practical experience. This offers the best of both worlds - a professional environment to work in undistracted during the day, and an exciting campus life out of hours. In addition to receiving tutoring, mentoring, guidance and support from academic staff, you may also experience events featuring industry professionals or perhaps work on an extra-curricular project such as a game jam with your peers. We also work in conjunction with the Informatics Centre, an on-site software development team where students may be employed to work on commercial projects.
