Overview

At the Game Programming programme from Humber Polytechnic you will work with peers in the Animation-3D Advanced Diploma and the Bachelor of Music degree during game jams, external projects, and/or semester long in-class projects as you build the vital collaboration skills needed by the games industry.

You will graduate with a significant mid-programme project and capstone project to demonstrate your coding talents using game engines (such as Unity or Unreal) and also your ability to create your own C++ game engine. With a high degree of game engine expertise, familiarity with 3D modelling, scripting, and technical direction, you will have the tools you need to compete and succeed in the rapidly expanding field of game development.
