BSc(Hons) Computing for Games

... United Kingdom
... Falmouth University

Course Overview

Master the knowledge needed to shape future games by studying games through the lens of computer science. Building upon industry-standard software, you’ll implement new tools to extend what is possible with existing engines and program games that push technical boundaries. In addition, you’ll collaborate with other students in the Games Academy – from animators to sound designers – to develop a multidisciplinary approach with creativity at its heart.

You will:

  • Get under the hood of video game engines such as Unity and Unreal while learning a range of programming languages, including C#, Python and C++

  • Engage with the latest technologies to develop broadly transferable skills

  • Blend creativity and science while developing teamwork and communication skills that are highly desired in the industry

  • Develop an ‘optimisation mindset’ by learning to work within platform constraints

  • Make games collaboratively with artists, animators, composers, designers, writers and other programmers

  • Study on a course accredited by The Chartered Institute for IT
