Computer Science with Industrial Placement (Game Engineering) BSc Honours (G451)

You will learn about the design, development and implementation of software that drives computer games.

Explore different aspects of computing science – such as games design, bioinformatics, and security - in your first two years. You'll spend a year on an accredited, paid industrial placement between Stages 2 and 3.

Study specialist modules in Stage 3 - such as gaming simulations and computer games development - to develop skills and knowledge for your chosen career.

About Game Engineering
Our degrees in Game Engineering focus on the design, development and implementation of software that drives computer games (rather than the artistic element of games development).

They enable you to design, develop and implement computer graphics software and applications on a variety of architectures including games consoles, graphic workstations and advanced 3D reality environments.

They also allow you to exploit such software and hardware in entertainment, engineering, design and scientific visualisation.

The North East of England is a hub for games development, making it an exciting place to kick-start your career in the industry.
