"summary": "This is a four-year programme that includes a year of foundational study and leads directly into the degree course. Our foundation year offers the chance to strengthen your skills, knowledge and confidence, before you advance to stage one of your honours degree.\n\nThis TIGA accredited* Computer Games Design and Development degree focuses on developing the relevant and desirable skills needed to pursue a career in the games development industry. You can expect industry led course content and will have the option to focus your studies to include specialist topics such as Gameplay, Game Engine and Virtual Reality to become highly employable across different sectors of the games industry. As such, you can graduate with a named award in:\n\nBSc Computer Games Design and Development (Gameplay)\n\nBSc Computer Games Design and Development (Game Engine)\n\nBSc Computer Games Design and Development (Virtual Reality)\n\nYou will have access to the latest tools and technologies used in industry such as Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo console development kits along with VR equipment from Oculus, HTC and Valve as well as access to our VR development booths which provide a truly unique learning experience. You’ll even have access to our MAME Arcade Machine and foosball tables which provide a much needed opportunity to let off steam between lectures in our newly refurbished and modern study spaces. Our industry experienced staff members will support you not only in developing your skills but also your confidence beyond the degree programme through our more personal teaching methods. This helps you more easily adapt to academic life and provides a real sense of community.\n\nGiven that the video game industry is the largest entertainment industry (ERA, 2022), there has never been a better time to pursue a career in games. BSc Computer Games Design and Development will set you on a path to do exactly that. As the course content is continually evaluated to ensure you are equipped with the latest and most desirable skills needed for industry it’s no wonder that our graduates have gone on to secure roles within well-known gaming organisations such as Ubisoft, Cloud Imperium, Kwalee, PlayEmber, Lively, Sumo Digital and many more.\n\nWe offer this programme with two study options. You can choose four years full-time or five years full-time which would include a one-year professional placement before your final year that will give you hands-on experience in a real-life working environment. This year in industry would give you the practical skills that many employers seek, giving you a competitive edge upon graduation.\n\n***The TIGA Accreditation system recognises the very best undergraduate and postgraduate university courses, enabling game developers to identify those that produce industry-ready graduates.**",
