Course Overview

You study a broad curriculum in your first two years, developing knowledge in different aspects of computing science, and gaining skills in problem solving, program design and implementation.

In your third year, you move onto specialist topics in game engineering, developing skills and knowledge for your future career.

Your modules focus on the design, development and implementation of software that drives computer games, and include:

  • gaming simulations
  • computer game development

About Game Engineering

Our degrees in Game Engineering focus on the design, development and implementation of software that drives computer games (rather than the artistic element of games development).

They enable you to design, develop and implement computer graphics software and applications on a variety of architectures including games consoles, graphic workstations and advanced 3D reality environments.

They also allow you to exploit such software and hardware in entertainment, engineering, design and scientific visualisation.

The North East of England is a hub for games development, making it an exciting place to kick-start your career in the industry.

BSc or MComp?

Some of our degrees are offered at two levels:

  • three-year Bachelor of Science (BSc) 
  • four-year Master of Computing (MComp)

You can transfer between our degrees up to the end of Stage 2  (although transfer from a BSc to an MComp is dependent on your academic performance). 
 
Our MComp degrees involve an additional year of advanced study during which you follow master's-level modules from one of our MSc programmes. This provides you with a deeper level of knowledge that some employers will look for when recruiting.
