Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Computer Science for Games with Placement Year

Program Overview

Create the software powering the next generation of blockbuster games.

  • Develop advanced programming skills, using C++ as the core language throughout the course.
  • Use industry-standard APIs such as Microsoft's DirectX, Unity, Unreal, Corona, OpenGL, Android SDK and iOS.
  • Learn about 3D graphics, computer architecture, game engines and game industry business models.
  • Study on a course with industry accreditation from TIGA and the British Computer Society.
  • Have the opportunity to work abroad — with the possibility of funding through the Erasmus+ programme (until 2023) or the Turing Scheme.

Study the skills and techniques demanded by the games industry, such as programming, software engineering and optimisation, mathematics and the use of games hardware on desktop, consoles and mobile platforms. Master project management techniques and tools used within the games industry and design your own games in the world's largest PlayStation® teaching lab.

In 2018 we were named 'Best Educational Institution' by TIGA, the independent games association. The award recognises our games courses for being world leading, having strong links with industry, and leading its students into graduate roles.
