Overview

This page covers Computer Science (High-Performance Graphics and Games Engineering) 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 is coursework heavy, with lab sessions each week and a substantial individual project in the final stage.

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.

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