Overview With almost 3000 Games Development companies and a current valuation of 4 billion pounds, the Games industry has eclipsed the film, music and video industries as the dominant entertainment industry in the UK. Games Production BSc equips you for those roles within this industry which, instead of more traditional Programming or Maths knowledge, require a vocational aptitude in Gaming technologies and tools. You will gain industry-relevant experience in using several different Game Engines (Unity, Unreal, CryEngine and GODOT) and develop your skills in sound engineering and cross-platform development, such as development for the Nintendo Switch, Mobile, VR and Android platforms. You will explore a diverse and interesting range of practical topics and will develop a comprehensive set of transferable skills that you will be able to apply to the areas of Games Development that interest you the most Games Production BSc shares a common first-year and some later modules with Computer Games Programming BSc. This shared focus means you have the flexibility to decide which direction you wish to specialize in once you have gained some exposure to each area.

Your first year modules are shared with Computer Games Programming BSc, so you can decide which course to follow at the end of the year. You will normally attend around 12-16 hours of timetabled taught sessions each week, split across a variety of lectures, small group activities and practical Games Lab sessions. You will also be expected to undertake at least 24 further hours of directed independent study and assignments as required. All modules are assessed by course-work submission, in the form of a practical Final Project and some are assessed by phase test, such as the 3D Modelling module. All second-year modules are assessed by course-work submission, in the form of a practical Final Project. There will also be a Group Project, which will be shared with Computer Games Programming, as part of the assessment. All third-year modules are assessed by course-work submission, in the form of a practical Final Project. You will also be required to submit a Final Year Project. Computer Science Laboratories Computer Games Production and Computer Games Programming students have access to three dedicated Games Lab facilities, with Alienware computers with i7 processers, enabling you to develop Games to a highly professional standard. As part of these facilities, you will also have access to licenses for Unity, Maya, Unreal, Adobe and Visual Studio. Our Computer Science laboratories provide computer workstations for students to use, with four interconnected computing laboratories with HP PCs running Windows/Linux. All the machines are connected to a dedicated, high-performance file server for storage and backup of students' work. Many of the software packages are open source, which means students can download and run the software needed for their course work while at home. The laboratories also include study spaces where you can work individually or in groups.
