Gain the skills to become a software engineer in game engine technologies, real-time graphics programming and simulation technologies with our Computer Game Engineering MSc.

In collaboration with a number of high-profile industry leaders and computer game innovators, we have created an advanced master's in game development. This master's produces graduates with the potential to become future leaders in the global computer games industry.

The game engineering course is for honours graduates in computing science or a discipline with significant computing and/or mathematical content, such as:

• computing
• information systems
• mathematics
• engineering
• systems engineering
• physics

We'll equip you with the skills and knowledge required to develop computer game software. We'll also provide an international perspective on advancements in computer game development.

You'll benefit from:

• an industrial advisory board made up from high profile UK games companies
• the opportunity to meet game developers from across the UK
• a technical focus on game engineering and programming

We'll encourage you to play a full part in the life of the School. You'll participate in seminars delivered by distinguished external speakers. The experienced and helpful staff at Newcastle will be happy to offer support with all aspects of your course from admissions to graduation and developing your career beyond.
