Bachelor of Science in Games Development
The revised Bachelor of Science in Games Development will be available to school leavers from 2011. New subjects have also been added to this course for 2011.
Today’s games are large sophisticated computer programs that model 3D worlds in detail, implementing realistic physics, with believable computer controlled characters that connect thousands of players through virtual worlds. Game designers must create and manage the social, economic, and governance structures of these virtual worlds, addressing issues of plot, character development and storyline, integrating these in a real-time programming environment.
This course will provide you with a sound education in all aspects of information technology as well as the diverse range of skills necessary for a career in computer games development.
