BSc Computer Games Design Development Game Engine

The Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Games Design & Development (Game Engine) at Cardiff Metropolitan University teaches students the technical side of making games, particularly how game engines are built. This course explains the skills to become an engine programmer or a gameplay engineer. They will learn topics like real-time systems, making things run quickly, and programming techniques.

In this course, students use standard tools common in the games industry, including Unreal and Unity. They have access to specialist equipment, including console development kits, virtual reality headsets, and other hardware for creating games. Additionally, this course is updated to stay current with the industry's needs, and former students have secured positions at well-known companies such as Ubisoft and Sumo Digital.

Learning is practical and project-based, involving lectures, workshops, and group projects. Assessment is mostly through engine prototypes, game demos, and written reflections, rather than examinations. Students also gain experience using version control tools and agile workflows used in real studios.
