The MSc/PGDip in Computer Science (Interactive Entertainment Technology) is a one-year course and has been designed in collaboration with Games Industry companies including Havok, Microsoft, Demonware, Radical Entertainment and others. The programme immerses students in a state of the art learning environment, including the Microsoft sponsored IET Gamelab and classes taught by leading researchers in computer graphics, vision, networking and distributed systems, where students employ the latest hardware, software tools and technologies used by professional game development companies.

The MSc IET was listed as one of the top courses for video game studies at graduate level according to American publication, The Princeton Review, which selects the schools based on a survey it conducted in 2013-14 of institutions offering video game design coursework and degrees. The MSc IET was featured in a recent Get Into Games article of Edge Magazine Online in November 2012.
