Bachelor of Software Engineering (Game Programming)

The Bachelor of Software Engineering (Game Programming) blends current theory, research and practice with the advanced programming skills you’ll use in the game development industry. Throughout the course, you’ll develop investigative skills and take analytical, creative and critical approaches to problem-solving, all complemented by hands-on practice.

You will learn to use Unity and Unreal – the two main engines for game development to build high-quality 3D and 2D games. In collaboration with fellow programmers and game artists, you’ll create commercially viable games from concept to live prototype, devising solutions and producing computer programs to activate computer game interaction.

By the time you graduate, you will have collaborated with fellow programmers and game artists to create a commercially viable game. As a specialist software engineer, you’ll devise solutions and produce computer programs to activate game interaction. In this highly competitive industry, you’ll impress potential clients and employers with your professional portfolio of work – all produced during your degree – and catapult into a rewarding career.

Learning outcomes:

• Learn C++ and other game industry-standard coding languages.
• Acquire skills in engine development and collaborative game creation.
• Research and explore advances in software engineering techniques and technology such as AI and procedural world-building.
• Learn the algorithms, data structures and techniques that underpin an expertise in software engineering and game programming.
