BSc Computer Science for Games Development with a year abroad
We’ve been providing the games industry with quality graduates for more than 15 years.
Many of our graduates are company directors and technical leads. This relationship helps us improve our course and keep it current. It also means there is an extensive network of Hull alumni working in senior positions in the games industry across the world.
This programme offers an inspiring combination of computer science and video games development. We'll give you a solid grounding in computer science, set within the context of games programming – concentrating on programming, artificial intelligence, graphics, games architectures and parallel and concurrent programming. In your third year, you’ll do a large project in an area that interests you. We’ll also teach you how to apply technical game development skills within the context of the commercial computer games industry. The Masters programme will allow you to do more intensive C++ and DirectX.
Benefit from facilities like the Computer Science Superlab. The refurbished lab is part of a significant investment in high-performance work stations, servers and social spaces. The Superlab has around 150 seats and is used for tutorials, workshops, extra-curricular activities and is open to students outside of teaching hours.
We are a friendly department, at a friendly university, in a friendly city. There are lots of opportunities to socialise and pursue your interest in gaming beyond the lecture theatre. Games jams, hackathons, programming competitions are all part of the Hull experience and there are numerous societies to get involved with - Hull Computer Science, Hull Gaming Society and the Robotics Society to name just three. We host frequent (online) talks by industry experts, many of them our own graduates.
You'll get the chance to test your skills out in the real world on an optional year-long industry placement at companies such as Unity.
This degree is accredited to the maximum level available by the British Computer Society. The skills, experience and technical expertise you’ll gain will prepare you for a career in the multibillion-pound games industry.
