Courses

The School of Computing is responsible for a number of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

In terms of your programme of study you will find a modularised structure, modern syllabuses and a significant amount of practical work, in which you will be able to apply theory, exercise your creativity and develop team-working skills.

Several of our undergraduate programmes offer industrial placement opportunities to students. Industrial placement is an important feature of both degree schemes and differentiates our programmes from those offered at other institutions.

Applying

Here's what our students say:

“While reading through various prospectuses, the UWS Computer
Animation programme really stood out and this made me apply.

I hope to work in the gaming industry or in television and film. Japanese
film-maker Hayao Miyazaki’s work and
his award-winning anime have been a big influence on me and have really shaped my interests in animation.”

Leanna Leung,
Computer Animation Student

 

“The BSc (Hons) Computer Games Technology taught me everything I needed to know. Before the course, I literally hadn’t even written a piece of code, but I quickly learned. I wouldn’t have the job I have today without my degree.’’

Barry Wood,
Regular Programmer at Blitz Games Studio
