BSc Computer Science with Games Development

The BSc Computer Science with Games Development at Leeds Trinity University teaches both computing and game creation. The course combines coding, problem-solving, and creative design so students learn how software and games are made. The aim is to help students grow as confident developers who can plan, build, and test real software or games. The course suits students who enjoy both logical thinking and creative digital work. Games-focused modules let students try game engines, game design methods, simple AI, and tools for creating game worlds.

 

This degree runs for three years full-time. The early part of the programme builds the basics of programming, understanding networks, web tools, and digital design. Students also learn how computers store and process data, and how teams plan software. Later years bring in stronger computing skills, such as software engineering, algorithms, and secure coding. The final year includes a major project, giving each student the chance to create a full game or piece of software that shows a clear set of skills.

 

Students are taught using lectures, labs, workshops and group tasks. Assessments use practical tasks rather than heavy exams. Students complete coding projects, design reports, research tasks, team challenges and a final project that draws on the full range of skills gained over the course.
