Games Production BSc (Hons)

Video games have eclipsed the film, music, and video industries as the dominant entertainment sector in the UK.  

Our course is designed to equip you for roles that require a vocational aptitude in gaming technologies and tools. 

You will gain industry-relevant experience in using different game engines (Unity, Unreal, CryEngine, and Godot) and develop your skills in sound engineering and cross-platform development, including the Nintendo Switch, mobile, VR, and Android. 

Study a diverse range of practical topics such as Audio for Games, Game Engine Scripting, and AI for Simulation, and develop a comprehensive set of transferable skills that you can apply to the areas of game development that interest you the most. You will also have the opportunity to make a short game using an engine of your choice. 

Games Production BSc shares a common first year and some later modules with Computer Games Programming BSc. This shared focus means you have the flexibility to decide which direction you wish to specialize in once you have gained some experience in each area.
