Games Technology BSc (Hons)
The computer games industry requires individuals with a high level of practical skills, technical knowledge and experience, and our BSc Games Technology degree creates graduates who are steering their careers towards being a Technical Artist, a highly sought-after role in the industry.
Founded on the principles of User-Centred Design (UCD) and Human Computer Interaction (HCI), this course can put you at the forefront of new gaming technology as you learn how to consider the user throughout each stage of the game design and development process.
You’ll learn how to establish, iterate and refine outcomes through investigative methods, including prototyping and usability testing as well as contextual enquiry and ethnographic study.
And, as this course sits alongside the established and highly regarded BA (Hons) Games Arts degree you’ll have plenty of opportunities to collaborate in making game prototypes together and take part in Game Jams with your peers, mirroring idea and team development within the games industry.
Facilities at our Farnham campus are first-class, with the very latest Alienware Aurora towers, 4k dual screens, RTX 2080 graphics cards, exploring game concepts using Unity and Unreal games engines. Later, you’ll be able to test your games on the very latest Dev Kits, including those from Sony PlayStation via Sony PlayStation First Academic Development programme.
Career routes are plentiful in the computer games industry, which is consistently growing year on year (UKie Annual Review). London and the South East is home to 48% of the UK gaming industry and we have strong links with many of the most successful, including Supermassive Games, EA and Creative Assembly and many other developers.
