Overview

This page covers Computer Games Programming with Foundation across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Computer Games and Animation 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 ranges from £17,200 to £18,850 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

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