In this double degree, you will complete the requirements for two separate degrees in four years. The course consists of units in both Games and Interactive Environments and Mathematics. In the Games and Interactive Environments component you will complete core units in introductory design, games studies, professional skills and basic programming and then choose one of these majors: Animation Game Design Software Technologies. In your final year, you will participate in a major group project to produce a significant piece of work using PC, mobile devices, consoles or virtual reality. In your mathematics component, you will complete core units that provide a foundation for both study and future work in mathematics and games and interactive environments, and then choose one of these majors: Decision Science Applied and Computational Mathematics Statistical Science. Students are assisted throughout their course with choices to match their career aspirations and abilities. All these strands involve project work and real-world applications. Why choose this course? You will have the opportunity to use your problem-solving skills to develop realistic games in a competitive gaming environment. A decade ago, people probably wouldn’t have noticed if the cape the game hero was wearing didn’t flap in the wind as he ran, or that the boxes in the corner of the room of the dungeon didn’t fall over when they are run into in a fight. Today, serious gamers notice and demand this type of realism in their virtual worlds. This is where your maths and problem-solving capabilities come into play. Complex formulae are used in games design to create realistic scenes, and knowledge of mathematics will certainly aid your understanding. Career outcomes Gain practical skills using the latest computer technology to enable you to solve real-world problems and prepare you for a career within the games and interactive environments industry, as well as in a wide range of areas such as finance, investment, information technology, environmental management, health, marketing, logistics, defence, media, education and research.
