Overview
Within this Computer Games Technology (Hons) degree from Abertay University , you'll create your own game prototypes, showcasing current techniques using the latest technologies. This means diving into subjects like games programming and AI, through to console and engine development. Along the way you'll be taught by industry experts who worked on award-winning games (console and mobile) and be studying right here in Dundee - home to over a third of the country's games companies.
This degree was created in consultation with the games sector, a direct response to the acute shortage of games programmers. For example, it hosts one of the largest PlayStation 5 labs and the development kits are fully integrated within the curriculum.
Potential Careers
You'll graduate with a deep knowledge of the mathematics and low-level programming tricks that underpin today's video games.
These skills are highly sought after in the computer games industry and beyond.
The graduates are employed as games, engine, graphics and network programmers creating console games for Sony PlayStation, Nintendo and Xbox, as well as PC and the latest mobile devices. They also work for companies such as Nvidia, Microsoft, Toshiba medical and Google Deep Mind.
