Games Computing

The MComp Games Computing is a four-year degree programme designed to enhance and extend the BSc (Hons) programme with an additional year of Master's level study. It provides the opportunity to study a range of modules in more detail and to complete a substantive project in an area of specific personal interest. Studying at Master's level can enable students to both deepen and broaden their knowledge and understanding.

The course aims to develop the skills and attributes required for roles in the competitive computing sector. It is designed to help students develop as versatile professionals, capable of thriving in a wide range of post-university employment destinations. Students also have the opportunity to develop skills that lend themselves to the ever-growing, multi-billion pound video games industry.

The course aims to develop a skillset that is applicable to the wider spectrum of the digital sector. Beyond learning how to develop software, students can also develop an understanding of the interaction between the computer and its user, and how to design an engaging experience. We aim to produce graduates who can adapt to quickly evolving technology and play key roles within the companies at the forefront of those advances.

Beyond how to develop technology, a games computing student can also gain an understanding of how to make it engaging, playful, and fun. The course explores computer science through the specific use-case of games.
