We aim to teach people not just how to deploy cutting edge tools and techniques, but how to build the next generation of software tools that other system constructors will use. This programme aims to give a well integrated balance of theoretical underpinnings and practical experience, strongly informed by the research expertise of our academic staff. If students wish, they can specialise in later years and graduate with a named degree in Games Programming (G440), Artificial Intelligence (G700) or Software Engineering (G600).
