Game Development - Digital Arts and Entertainment

Game Development is a major within the Bachelor of Digital Arts and Entertainment programme.

With this major, you delve into the entire production process of AAA games, becoming an all-in game developer. You learn to work with C++ as the basic language for developing game graphics, gameplay, and supporting tools.

You also become familiar with existing game engines, such as Unreal Engine, which allows you to create stunning levels and incorporate augmented and virtual reality.

As a game developer, you are the backbone of a game's machinery. All aspects of game applications are controlled by code that ultimately leads to engaging player experiences. You are responsible for optimising the game engine, controlling AI, implementing gameplay, UI, or the real-time shadow play of 3D objects.
