Graduates from our Computer Games Technology (CGT) and Computer Game Applications Development (CGAP) programmes leave us with games-oriented mathematic and programming degrees which are highly sought after by the computer games and software development industries.
Both programmes were created in response to industry needs; CGT for the acute shortage of game programmers within the industry and CGAD to meet demand for first-rate game and computer programmers with a knowledge of developing applications using middleware such as game engines.
We work very closely with leading developers and game studios such as 4J Studios, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Microsoft and Ruffian Games, making graduates from these industry-accredited courses highly employable from the get-go.
