Program Description
Press start on a world-leading Computer Games Technology degree at Abertay University and go under the bonnet to study and develop the engines that make computer games whirr – skilfully delivered by experts who’ve worked on blockbuster titles including Grand Theft Auto (GTA), Angry Birds and Crackdown. Study at Europe’s top university for computer games and learn all the skills needed to become a programmer in one of the most demanding and rewarding industries in the world. From games programming, graphics and artificial intelligence to games hardware and procedural generation, this challenging degree equips students with the confidence and skills they need to pursue a career in the multi-billion pound games industry.
Tutorials and laboratory-based activities increase students' understanding of the subject, allowing them to put the taught theory into practice, and develop their competence and confidence in technological and theoretical work. During the course, students will be required to actively participate in group work, discussions, seminars, and private study.
Computer Games Technology graduates possess a mathematics/games-orientated programming degree, which is highly sought after by the computer games industry. The degree was created in response to the acute shortage of game prorammers within the industry, and has been designed through consultation with the sector. Abertay works closely with leading game developers, such as 4J Studios, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Microsoft, and Ruffian Games, making graduates from the course highly employable within the industry.
Graduates have found employment as games, graphics and network programmers creating console games for Sony PlayStation, Nintendo and Xbox, to programming the latest mobile devices.
