Games Programming (Integrated Degree)

About this course

Games programming is the technical craft behind interactive digital entertainment, encompassing everything from the physics engines that simulate movement and collision to the artificial intelligence systems that govern non-player characters, the rendering pipelines that produce visual effects, and the networking code that allows players to compete across the world in real time. It draws on computer science fundamentals including algorithms, data structures, and systems programming, but applies them to problems that are unusually demanding in terms of performance, real-time responsiveness, and creative ambition. A games programmer needs both technical depth and an understanding of design, because the code they write shapes what players actually experience. Goldsmiths is known for its creative and technically ambitious approach to computing and the arts, and this four-year integrated deg
