Computer Game Applications Development

About this course

Computer game applications development is one of the most demanding and rewarding specialisations within computing, combining the rigor of software engineering with the creative and technical complexity that modern games demand. Games are among the most computationally intensive interactive systems that exist, requiring programmers who understand real-time graphics, physics simulation, audio engineering, artificial intelligence for non-player characters, networking and the software architectures needed to make all these systems work together at interactive frame rates. The discipline asks you to develop both strong programming fundamentals and the specialist knowledge that games development specifically requires. This four-year full-time degree at Abertay University includes a year abroad, giving you the opportunity to study in a different national context and to encounter games develop
