Tuition fees will provide access to all the usual teaching and learning equipment; however, there may be additional costs such as materials and equipment that are associated with your course. Books (approx. £200-250 per year) Storage – we recommend 1-2TB to store solutions, reports, etc.; students will benefit from using SSD technology in terms of speed (approx. £65-£150+) Headphones (approx. £25 - £100) – where certain modules are taken, students are advised to purchase a set of headphones to test audio. Game Controller (approx. £20 - £50) – use of a standard gamepad is common during design, development and testing. Electronic Prototyping Equipment – some modules may require low-cost electronic prototyping equipment and components for experimentation at home, although these are available on campus (approx. £35 - £75) Esports Apparel – students may choose to purchase esports shirts, jackets, etc., in our team design (approx. £20 - £55 per item) Computer – It is recommended and common for students to use their own computer, although not essential. The required specification for this would partly depend on the modules chosen and given pace of the development of technology and changing value of equipment. It is not possible to put an exact cost on this, but this may be in the region of £750 - £1500+. The course team will be happy to discuss this with you. Events – optional attendance. Students have previously visited computer games events, including EGX (approx. £20 - £70 for tickets plus travel) and the UKie student conference (travel costs only as UKie membership is paid by the IIT course). The development Conference is a UK games conference and students are encouraged to attend (approx. £100 - £385 for the conference sessions, depending on early booking and number of days attending, or a free pass for the expo only; this does not include any travel and accommodation). Attendance at virtual and in-person industry events covering various aspect of IIT may also be organised, dependent on tickets, travel and accommodation. Printing – all students will be credited with the equivalent of £10 printing/copying at the start of the academic year. After that, students will need to pay for their own printing/copying. Most work is submitted electronically. Student ID cards – The first issue of your ID card is free. Replacement cards will be charged at £10 to replace lost or stolen cards.
