First Year Pathway in Information and Computer Science - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Computer Science (Digital Media and Games)

LBIC offers University First Year studies for candidates who do not meet the direct entry criteria or hold high school qualifications that are not recognised. Upon successful completion of the pathway programme students will progress onto the second year of their Brunel University London progression degree.

Digital media and gaming applications are at the cutting edge of user experience technology. This Computer Science (Digital Media and Games) BSc is a flexible course that provides graduates with the knowledge and skills to design creatively and commercially.

This specialist degree course will help students understand the nature, diversity and limitations of software artefacts (programs) targeted at the entertainment market and apply their skills to implement and develop their own.

In addition, students will acquire in-depth knowledge of algorithms, design, programming and testing techniques. By the end of the course, students will have confidence in their knowledge of common system and network architectures and system development approaches, requirements capture, design methods, models, tools, and techniques.

Students will become well-versed in implementing and testing systems and software maintenance. Key to this course is cultivating a reflective approach to project management issues arising from team-based software development.

All of Brunel's Computer Science degrees emphasise acquiring knowledge and skills to develop new understanding creatively and professionally. Although this is an academic degree, the course balances theory with real-world practice in information and computer management.
