Program description
The Game Programming advanced diploma program at Humber is project-based and focuses on programming and building game engines for game production, from indie to AAA. You will work on team projects to prototype and produce games using programming tools and the lenses of game engine architecture, optimization, and the agile approach.
A comprehensive series of courses covers topics such as C++ programming, graphics, mathematics, physics, artificial intelligence, Unity/Unreal game engine development, and computer networking.
During game jams, external projects, and/or semester-long in-class projects, you will collaborate with peers from the Animation-3D Advanced Diploma and the Bachelor of Music degree to develop the critical teamwork skills required by the games industry.
You will graduate with a large mid-program and capstone project that will demonstrate your coding abilities utilizing game engines (such as Unity or Unreal) as well as your ability to design your own C++ game engine. You will have the tools you need to compete and flourish in the constantly increasing field of game development if you have a strong understanding of game engines, 3D modeling, scripting, and technical direction.
