At the core of this course is the C++ programming language. You will learn how to use C++ to model physics and collisions, render advanced computer graphics and program advanced artificial intelligence techniques. You will study how computer games are engineered and the workflow models used by industry and will use industry standard tools for games development. We have invested heavily in hardware and software for computer games students. Our recently opened ?250,000 state-of-the-art Game Development Studios feature three labs of powerful games computers and a Real D Passive Stereo 3D system with a four metre polarised projection screen. The studios are modelled on the layout of contemporary game development facilities found in industry. The computers currently comprise of Acer Predators, Dell XPSs and Alienware Area 51 ALXs. This course is taught by staff with games industry experience and informed and supported by an expanding computer games research group, offering an excellent route into further research at PhD level. We have a number of researchers active in the computer games field, particularly in the field of artificial intelligence. The modules you will take are: ? Game Architecture, Design and Development ? Computer Games Programming ? Mathematical Modelling and Artificial Intelligence ? Audio and Tool Creation ? Research Methods ? Project The project is a large piece of independent study that you will complete over the summer period (in full-time mode) or over the course of a year (in part-time mode). Supported by two supervisors, you will apply the skills and techniques that you have learnt to a significant game-related problem or product and add substantial weight to your software portfolio. The project would normally involve building a game component, although those interested in research might want to experiment with some aspect of computer games. Optional Placement We offer a great opportunity to boost your career prospects through an optional one year placement as part of your postgraduate studies. We have a dedicated Placement Unit which will help you obtain this. Once on your placement you will be supported by your Visiting Tutor to ensure that you gain maximum benefit from the experience. Placements begin after the taught component of the course has been completed - usually around June - and last for one year. When you return from your work placement you will begin your project.
