Computer Science (Game Engineering)

About this course

Computer science with a specialism in game engineering sits at the intersection of software engineering, graphics programming, real-time systems, and creative design. Video games are among the most technically demanding software systems in existence, requiring the integration of complex rendering pipelines, physics simulations, artificial intelligence, networking, and user input into seamless interactive experiences. Game engineering focuses on the technical craft behind those systems, equipping you to build the engines and tools that games run on rather than simply using existing platforms. At Newcastle University, this three-year programme develops your core computer science foundation alongside deepening specialism in the technical disciplines that underpin game development. You will study the fundamentals of algorithms, data structures, software engineering, and programming, before
