Choose your specialisation
There are two core pathways offered as part of BSc (Hons) Games Development focus on Design and Programming. In the first year, you will study three core modules and three modules that you have chosen from the pathway system. On the design pathway, you will become architects of engaging and emotive experiences reflecting the fundamental need for you to understand your audience intimately, designing for desirable emotions, and for the anticipation of those desirable emotions.
As a first year student, you will be introduced to a range of duties performed by game designers and be acquainted with the principles and tools to develop your own games. By the end of your first year, you will have gained a deep understanding of your players and what they want, in addition to unlocking the ability to trigger specific emotions in those players. We'll work in C++ and C# to ensure you are learning industry-standard languages and prepare you for the work you will undertake in the second year of study.
In your second year on the design pathway, you will augment your knowledge by studying the advanced behavioural psychological techniques that are applied to games. Students on the programming pathway take a deeper dive into writing code for games. You will look at graphics programming with OpenGL, AI techniques core to building immersive experiences, alongside an intensive module that has you writing your own 2D game engine, pulling together elements from the other modules you have worked through in your studies.
In your final year, you are almost ready to take the game development scene by storm and you will need a professional online presence and CV. We have first-hand experience of industry recruitment and with our support you will stand out from the crowd.
