"summary": "As a Computer Games Design and Programming student, you'll learn how to take your game ideas from concept, through production to final release using industry-standard design and development techniques. You will also learn how to develop or modify the technologies used in game engines. \n\nRun in affiliation with games industry body TIGA, this course will give you the skills you need for a career in games development focused around using multiple games technologies. \n\nThis course has been designed around the needs of the games industry with the focus on developing skills in design, programming and production.\n\nThese three core areas cover many of the job roles advertised by a highly competitive worldwide games industry and allow a graduate to cast a wide net when it comes to applying for a games studio role. \n\nThis broad skill set also makes graduates from this course ideally suited to joining Indie teams where the need to be flexible in a role is particularly valuable or to independently create their own games.\n\nYou will be taught by a range of academics with experience in academia, research, and industry games development. Module classes also include specialist, guest lecturers from our wide range of industry partners.\n\nThroughout your time at Staffordshire University, you will have many opportunities to interact with the games industry in events such as: guest lectures, portfolio reviews, game jams, networking socials, mock interviews and many more.\n\nOn successful completion of study, we will issue the following award: BSc (Hons) Computer Games Design and Programming..",
