Our degrees in Game Engineering focus on the design, development and implementation of software that drives computer games (rather than the artistic element of game development).

They enable you to design, develop and implement computer graphics software and applications on a variety of architectures including game consoles, graphic workstations and advanced 3D reality environments.

They also allow you to exploit such software and hardware in entertainment, engineering, design and scientific visualisation.
