Overview

Computer Science with Games Technology is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Computer Games and Animation is coursework heavy, with lab sessions each week and a substantial individual project in the final stage.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
