By the end of the course, you will be equipped to work independently and to develop and adapt your skills throughout your future career. What you should know about this course

• You will work on the basics of scripting languages, before moving on to mastering game engine technology.

• This degree allows you to extend development pipelines beyond the default toolset and develop knowledge of the business, industrial, and commercial context of computer science.

• Using the very latest technologies, you’ll get the practical experience and theoretical understanding to design, construct, and modify a wide range of systems.

• The University of Greenwich has a long-standing relationship with the British Computer Society (BCS), which accredits our computing degree programmes. As this programme was extensively updated in 2019, it has a current designation of Initial Full Chartered Information Technology Professional (CITP) and Partial Chartered Engineer (CEng) accreditation for the 2019 intake. The accreditation status is expected to be confirmed in autumn 2022 after the first cohort of students graduate. Students will be kept updated on the status of this, in the very unlikely event that this does not progress as expected the university will support students with individual BCS membership applications at the point of graduation.
