Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time
As a Master’s student of Games Engineering, you will be engaged in one of the most performance-driven elements of computer science and will be well prepared to launch your career as an expert developer in the multi-billion-pound computer games industry.
Video game development is a particularly complex software engineering process, requiring expertise in a number of wide-ranging areas including high-performance graphics, programming, data structures, physics, acoustics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning, networking, modelling and rendering.
Throughout the course, you will be trained in the complex game development process, learning the fundamental and theoretical aspects of how to create game engines from the ground up, as well as working with established game engines (i.e. Unreal, Unity) to understand the intricacies of their capabilities and limitations.
2:1 undergraduate degree (or equivalent) in a related STEM subject (Computer Science, Engineering, Technology, Maths).
