Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Computer Games Development

Students will be exposed to the fundamental knowledge, practices, terminologies and workflows of the game development industry ranging from game art, game design and game technology (programming). In this first year, students will also acquire the basic technical skills in video games depending on their chosen area of specialisation. They will also develop personal and organisational skills, as well as nurture creativity and innovation.

In-depth technical skills, understanding of pipelines and workflows will be introduced here. Students will also be trained to work in groups simulating a studio project environment with the task of producing a workable video game concept and product. Nurturing their creativity and innovation as well as independent learning is emphasised to prepare them for the workplace.

Students will undertake an Internship/Industrial Training for a minimum period of 16 weeks to prepare them for a smooth transition from the classroom to the working environment.

Students will make use of their previous studies and industrial experience to extend their familiarity in the field of game development and to refine their personal and professional development. Students will move further into advanced techniques in their chosen area of specialisation. A final year project requires them to investigate and develop their portfolio, and they will be given an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to combine technical knowledge, teamwork, critical thinking and analytical skills to produce a game development prototype. They will also be given an opportunity to take electives that will expand their skillsets to technical arts, technical design or even game design.

Game Development is the processes, techniques, theories and practices related to the creation of predominantly digital games but can also extend to non-digital games as well as game-based applications. It is a process that involves a combination of multi-disciplinary sets of knowledge and skills ranging from programming to psychology; and from artistic flair to business acumen. The game development process may involve just a single individual or a team of people working for a large development studio.

Game Development is a fusion of three major disciplines, namely Game Technology, Game Art and Game Design. The industry can also be expanded to a broad umbrella of serious games, educational games and table-top games.
