You will gain an understanding of the core hardware and software associated with the use of computer systems, as well as keeping up-to-date with current developments in technology. There will be numerous opportunities to work on practical activities such as robots, CAD design which will be further developed at degree level.\n\nMODULES\nComputing Mathematics\nComputer Hardware and Software\nDevelopments in Technology\nDesign and Technology\nThe Skills You Need\nContextual Studies\n\nYEAR 2 (LEVEL 4)\nLevel 4 introduces both theoretical and practical skills as you will work as part of a small game development team and learn the basics of production management along with building knowledge of 2D & 3D design and development. Maths and programming also play an important role along with an understanding of the hardware used for gaming and media.\n\nYou will also explore the broader context of game development and the critical issues facing the industry today.\n\nMODULES\nGame Design & Interaction\nGame Technology\nGame Asset Development\nGame Environments & Narrative Design\nProblem Solving with Programming\nGame Industry & Agile Production Methodologies\n\nYEAR 3 (LEVEL 5)\nLevel 5 builds on and expands your portfolio of skills and knowledge, adding to your digital sculpting and modelling skills along with audio design and production for games. You will also learn how to design and develop apps for Android and other mobile platforms.\n\nCritically, during the second semester, you will further enhance your development and management skills by working on two substantial group game projects utilising industry standard management methodologies and supporting tools.\n\nMODULES\nSerious Games Technology\n3D Modelling & Animation For Game Engines\nAudio Technology for Games\nInternet & Mobile App Development\nGroup Project\nIndie Studio Management & Game Production\n\nYEAR 4 (LEVEL 6)\nLevel 6 further expands on the previous skills acquired, with a focus on professional quality and management alongside advanced practical skills.\n\nThe innovative final year group project is designed to deepen your understanding of your chosen role and responsibilities as a professional developer, further preparing you for the workplace. You will form a game development team and specialise in a technical role of your own choosing for a full academic year. You and your team will present the finished game at the annual game expo event attended by both members of the public and industry representatives.\n\nWe have strong industry links and our final year modules are designed to focus on career development to prepare you for the transition from graduation to full-time work.\n\nStudents will have the opportunity to further enhance their career opportunities by engaging with the Games Talent Wales and Tranzfuser development programmes.\n\nMODULES\nProject\nAdvanced Games Programming\nMultiplayer Design & Optimisation\nAdvanced 3D Modelling & Animation for Game Engines\nFuture Technologies\n\nThe information listed in this section is an overview of the academic content of the programme that will take the form of either core or option modules.

The balance between the different forms of assessment is determined by the different aims and learning outcomes of the modules.\n\nAssessment methods include the production of digital (and non-digital) games, writing technical and academic reports, compiling and analysing production data, giving presentations, writing code, producing 3D models and audio files.\n\nAt higher levels of the course, students will also be required to provide statistical evidence of work hours with supporting evidence as part of key assessment outcomes.\n\nIndependent learning is an important aspect of all modules, as it enables students to develop both their subject-specific and key skills. Independent learning is promoted through the use of digital management tools such as Jira, and through feedback given to students, which takes several forms including small group and one-to-one discussions.\n\nWrexham University is committed to supporting our students to maximise their academic potential.\n\nWe offer workshops and support sessions in areas such as academic writing, effective note-making and preparing for assignments. Students can book appointments with academic skills tutors dedicated to helping deal with the practicalities of university work. Our student support section has more information on the help available.\n\nIn terms of particular needs, the University’s Inclusion Services can provide appropriate guidance and support should any students require reasonable adjustments to be made because of a recognised prevailing disability, medical condition, or specific learning difference.",
