Overview

Computer Games Design is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a two year higher national diploma, which carries into the final year of a degree.

Teaching in Computer Science starts from programming fundamentals even on postgraduate courses marked as conversion, which matters if your first degree was in another field.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition is £15,600 a year.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.

Careers opportunities

The strongest technical degree for the widest range of employers, and the one whose interviews are hardest. Hiring turns on data structures, algorithms and a portfolio, so a placement year and personal projects matter as much as the classification.
