BSc (Hons) Computer Science with Games Development Bachelor's degree at Leeds Trinity University

You'll be introduced to the fundamentals required to develop software artefacts fit for real-world organisational and commercial purposes. Explore three stages of software development: problem specification, programming and architectural design. We'll look at problem decomposition and programming, mathematical algorithms and computing problems, writing modular code and adopting relevant stylistic conventions and testing in project planning and implementation.

The web is now a ubiquitous medium that crosses platforms from desktop and mobile to the Internet of Things (smart homes, car, cities) for both personal and collaborative experiences. The ways in which we design for, develop and deploy these applications constantly evolves, due to the increasing and changing needs of users, society and enterprise. With this in mind, designers need to evolve the way that they design for future platforms. With a rise in web-based solutions, data driven philosophie

You'll be encouraged to engage in a comprehensive audit and introspection of your computing skills and career aspirations. The aim is to create a dynamic learning environment that empowers you to not only understand you current proficiency in computing but also to reflect upon and refine your career goals throughout your academic journey. Learn the basics of computer networking, both from a technical approach and a holistic viewpoint. Enhance your problem-solving abilities, refine your communica

Discover the processes of interface design, evaluation and user experience. You'll cover computer users, interaction technology and concepts, interaction applications, and the context of computer use. Learn about user interface design using prototyping, and about methods for evaluating user experience. Practise key design and evaluation techniques in the context of your assessments. In the UX Team Project activities, you'll learn how to work in teams and apply Agile development methods to delive

You'll gain both a theoretical understanding and hands-on experience related to the current best practices in software engineering. We'll look at the principles of software engineering principles, development of artefacts, design quality, technical evaluation and testing. You'll be equipped with the comprehensive skillset that reflects the latest and most effective approaches in the field of software engineering including requirements in engineering and modelling, configuration and testing techn

You'll develop computational thinking as fundamental problem solving expertise within the realm of core computer science knowledge, expected of and utilised by all computing practitioners. Study the core algorithms and data structures and be introduced to algorithm analysis and basic computability. Learn about data types such as stacks, queues, trees and graphs, understand time and space complexity, write and explain commonly used algorithms, use a variety of different data structures and unders

You'll look at the use of existing technologies currently used in computer games development and seek out opportunities for innovation within the field. Explore the current state of game technologies and identify technical fundamentals in relation to games development. Identify areas where you can push the boundaries and introduce new and creative ideas.

Through the lens of agile methodology, you'll engage in a programme specific group project immersing yourself in a collaborative and dynamic work environment. Your understanding of social, professional, ethical and legal dimensions of computing will be reinforced as well as a focus on equality and diversity. This module acts a crucial preparatory step for your final year project and introduces vital elements such as teamwork, project planning and investigative skills. You'll have opportunities f

Cover principles, methodologies and processes that enable secure and effective end-to-end software product development and deployment. Build on your software design and development skills gained in earlier modules so you can securely develop, deploy, and retire software using platforms such as Azure and AWS. You'll mainly be doing practical work, with code review forming a substantial part of the module.

Bring together your learning across previous modules and your elective specialist modules to take on an independent project. You'll demonstrate advanced skills and knowledge in a specific subject area, define problem boundaries and investigate plausible solutions with reference to wider social and cultural contexts. The goal is to deliver a software artefact that has real context. You'll communicate your findings in oral and written forms.

Cover the main elements of intelligence and intelligent systems, focussing on machine learning. Explore ethics and artificial intelligence (AI) regulations from human and machine contexts. You'll explore how to design a business around AI and AI trends and measure the impact of using such technology. Get hands-on experience in machine learning algorithms and techniques such as regression/clustering, reinforcement learning and deep learning. You'll study various real cases of using AI in detectin

Creating computer games software demands a multifaceted skill set that goes beyond general software proficiency. You'll not only leverage your general programming skills but also apply the principles of object-oriented programming in the unique context of games development. Gain a comprehensive grasp of the intricacies involved in crafting effective and engaging computer games, combining the foundational elements of programming with the specialised knowledge required for the dynamic and creative
