About this course

Computer games programming is the technical discipline that brings games to life through code, turning design concepts and artistic assets into playable, responsive, and performant interactive experiences. It draws on computer science fundamentals, including algorithms, data structures, and software architecture, but applies them in the specific and demanding contexts of real-time interactive systems where performance, responsiveness, and creative collaboration are all essential. Games programmers work on everything from physics simulations and rendering pipelines to artificial intelligence, gameplay systems, and network code. At the University of Gloucestershire this four-year programme includes a year-long work placement within the games industry, immersing you in a professional games studio environment and giving you direct experience of how games are made in a commercial context.
