Advanced Diploma in Game Programming

Program Overview

Whether it’s online or console, cellphone or PC-based, the game industry in Canada is booming. Game developers and publishers in the Greater Toronto Area range from small, specialized units, to mid-sized companies, to Microsoft, Nintendo, and other industry leaders.

Computer and game programmers are a fundamental resource for these companies––in fact, industry advisors tell us it's the technical skills that are most in demand. And as a graduate of the three-year Game – Programming advanced diploma program, you'll be ready to give employers in this sector exactly what they're searching for.

The added advantage of this program is that our School of Design faculty will guide you throughout the program, as you work closely with design students to create games, explore all aspects of the game industry, and learn to work in teams––just as you would in the industry.

Classes take place at our Waterfront Campus, and evening courses may be required.

Note: Students who start the program in January (winter term) will be required to attend classes during the summer months (May to August).
