BSc (Hons) Computer Games Programming and Design Solent University

Program Description

Whether you're interested in game design or programming, or still looking to work out where your skills and career will take you, the computer games programming and design degree offers the perfect opportunity to build a broad base of games industry knowledge before specialising in your chosen area. You'll be able to tailor your studies through optional modules, working on real games projects alongside other students with a diverse array of skills, building your teamwork and pipeline experience in studio scenarios designed to emulate a real indie studio environment. Programming options will build the problem solving and logic skills you need to succeed, including computational thinking, designing gameplay systems, and maths for games. On the design end, you'll learn fundamental design tools, and explore how to create and prototype compelling games that engage players and build game experiences. You'll learn the production pipeline, and how to use state-of-the-art game engines as part of a collaborative team. Artists, developers, project managers, programmers - through studio modules that simulate industry practice, and in our Video Games Academy, you'll build professional connections and friendships alongside a fantastic grasp of all aspects of game development – putting you in the best possible position to start your career in this growing industry after graduation.
