Build on the foundations developed in the Certificate of Higher Education in Computer Science: Software, Networking & AI by progressing onto the Foundation Degree in Software Engineering (Game Development). This pathway is designed for students who want to combine software engineering principles with the creativity and technical challenges of modern game development. Throughout the course, you will develop practical skills in programming, game engine development, game mechanics, artificial intelligence tools, and software design. Working with industry-standard technologies and development workflows, you will learn how games are planned, built, tested, and refined while developing the technical knowledge required for a career in software development. Alongside technical modules, you will complete work-based learning activities that help develop your professional skills and understanding of the wider games and technology industries. Upon successful completion of the Foundation Degree, you can progress to the BSc (Hons) Software Engineering (Game Development) top-up year, further developing your expertise and preparing for careers within the games, software, and interactive technology sectors.
Entry requirements
