In collaboration with a number of high profile industrial leaders and computer game innovators, we have created an advanced course producing graduates with the potential to become future leaders in the global computer games industry.

The 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 or physics.

You will benefit from:
  • an industrial advisory board made up from high profile UK games companies
  • industrial placements at leading game studios
  • industry-sponsored prizes each year in categories such as Best Team, Best Project and Best Student
  • a technical focus on game engineering

Newcastle has a first class record of research related to the development of computer game technologies and 97% of our graduates are in employment following graduation. Our graduates have gone on to work as programmers for a wide range of companies including:

  • Ubisoft Reflections
