There are three phases in the programme. In the first phase (60 credits), we introduce core knowledge and skills through modules in programming, graphics, and game technologies. In the second phase (30 credits), we emphasise the practice of computer game development through modules in research methods for gaming innovations, and entrepreneurial skills for the game industry, followed by a team exercise on the development and assessment of an actual computer game.
The third phase of the programme (90 credits) is a six-month individual system development or research project, undertaken with personal supervision in one of the School’s research groups, or in industry. Projects may be in collaboration with developers in the game industry who make up the programme’s industrial advisory board. Such developers have produced titles at a number of high-profile studios including: Traveller’s Tales (Lego Star Wars); Media Molecule (Little Big Planet); Eutechnyx (Street Racing Syndicate); Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (Formula One); Midway (Wheelman); Bizarre Creations (Project Gotham Racing); Ubisoft (Driver: Parallel Lines); and Mere Mortals (PDC World Championship Darts 2008).
