Overview

The Computer Games Programming programme from South East Technological University students will have produced several complete game concepts in a playable form.

Lectures and course practicals cover game industry development technologies, including: programming languages (C++, C#, JavaScript, Python and HTML5) game engine and frameworks (Unity 3D, SFML, OpenGL) and source code control systems (Git/Github).

Collaboration is actively encouraged throughout this course. Collaboration, beginning in first year, with students from Interactive Digital Art and Design will result in the creation of numerous portfolio titles, game projects and technical demonstrations.

Have you a deep interest in how things work? Have you the persistence to see a task through to completion? Are you creative and proud of your work, willing to go the extra mile to get it just right? Have you a passion for learning new things? You are not just a consumer of content but also a creator.
