Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with High-Performance Graphics and Games Engineering

Program Overview

This course teaches the skills and knowledge you’ll need to join one of the most performance-driven applications of computer science – the multi-billion pound global games industry. As a graduate, you will work at the top end of the games industry and will develop computer graphics on high-performance platforms, or write engines for the next generation of games.

Developed in collaboration with a prestigious steering group from industry, this course focuses on computer graphics, where programmers must push computing resources to the limit using deep understanding of architecture and high-performance programming to generate new levels of graphical realism and visual effects on cutting-edge hardware platforms.

You’ll gain proficiency in low-level programming (C++, Graphic and Compute shaders), a thorough understanding of multi-core and many-core programming techniques, game engine and tool development techniques, and fundamental insight into graphics and the practical techniques used in games including geometric models, animation and simulation, and advanced methods for visual realism.

Course highlights

  • Our courses are shaped by our world-leading research in areas such as artificial intelligence, computational science and engineering, computational medicine and distributed systems.
  • We’re a partner of the Alan Turing Institute, the UK’s national institute for data science and artificial intelligence.
  • During your project work you will access specialist facilities and laboratories.
  • Benefit from close links with the games industry, including input from our industrial steering group and the opportunity to participate in the annual Game Republic student showcase
  • You'll study in the Sir William Henry Bragg building, a brand-new development providing excellent facilities and teaching spaces for an outstanding student experience.
