About this course

High-performance graphics and games engineering sits at the technically demanding frontier of computer science, concerned with making interactive experiences that run at real-time speeds on complex, power-constrained hardware. The global games industry is one of the most technically sophisticated and commercially significant sectors in technology, and the engineers who build it need deep expertise in rendering algorithms, GPU programming, game engine architecture, physics simulation and software optimisation. This is a specialism that pushes computing hardware and software to their limits. At the University of Leeds, this four-year full-time programme includes a sandwich year, a work placement and a year abroad, giving you both the technical depth and the professional experience to enter this competitive field with confidence. The sandwich and placement elements allow you to work in the
