Program description
The new MSc Game Engineering degree from UCA seeks to arm you with the knowledge and abilities needed to work on complex game development. To create complicated game outputs, you'll draw on your prior technical studies, whether they were in a technical games subject or in another pertinent technical discipline.
In this course, you'll learn about modern tools for 3D modelling, rigging, and animation as well as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, both of which are frequently utilised in games to create more complex game mechanics, features, and worlds. You'll also start creating games using Unity and Unreal Engine, which will lead to your final significant project.
Along the way, you'll receive support from a team of academic experts and industry insiders, and you'll have the chance to develop real-world skills outside of the classroom through networking, placements, and competitions like Rezzed, EGX, and Medway Rapture Experience in addition to PocketGamer, Guildford Games Festival, and London Games Festival.
You can choose the Integrated International Pre-Masters, a year-long preparatory programme of study to get you ready for your master's in the UK, improving your speaking and writing skills in English along with your specialty skills, research knowledge, and self-confidence.
