All our Computer Science undergraduate courses offer a guaranteed, paid year in industry, between the second and third year, as a recognized part of your degree.

This program offers an inspiring combination of computer science and game programming. We'll give you a solid grounding in computer science, set within the context of games programming – concentrating on programming, artificial intelligence, graphics, games architectures, and parallel and concurrent programming. In your third year, you’ll do a large project in an area that interests you. The Masters's program will allow you to do more intensive C++ and DirectX.

We are a friendly department, at a friendly university, in a friendly city. There are lots of extracurricular opportunities to socialize and pursue your interest in gaming beyond the lecture theatre. Games jams, hackathons, and programming competitions are all part of the Hull experience and there are numerous societies to get involved with - Hull Computer Science Society, Hull Gaming Society, and the Robotics Society to name just three. We host frequent in-person and online talks by industry experts, many of them our graduates working around the world.

This degree is accredited to the maximum level available by the British Computer Society. The highly sought-after skills, experience, and technical expertise you’ll gain will prepare you for a career in the multibillion-pound games industry.
