Program Overview

Begin your journey towards becoming a developer who can specialise in the growth areas of the games industry, on our BSc (Hons) Games Development degree course at UCA Farnham.

This course focuses on creativity in the realm of gameplay programming and prepares you to take a central role among artists, designers, and programming teams. You'll learn programming to develop gameplay mechanics using game engines and have the opportunity to become a skilled technical artist as you optimise the look of characters and environments.

In your first year, you’ll learn the fundamentals of programming, becoming fluent in the most relevant programming languages in the industry today, before becoming adept at programming for gameplay all within the context of game engines. Then, in the second year, you’ll learn technical art using specialist tools and focus in on your personal and professional interests. In your last year, you’ll undertake a final project that aligns with the kind of developer you want to be.   

The skills you learn here will prepare you for an exciting career in the games industry – and can help make you one of the most sought-after members of any company’s team. 

Integrated Foundation Year
UCA’s Integrated Foundation Year is designed to give you the skills you’ll need to start your degree in the best possible way – with confidence, solid knowledge of creative practice, study skills and more.

You’ll explore a range of creative techniques and develop your portfolio, with your chosen subject in mind. We’ll work with you throughout the year to ensure you’re on the right track and give you the tools to achieve your highest potential on your degree.
