Bachelor of Science (BSc)
You will have the opportunity to undertake a work placement on a flexible basis, and we are able to accommodate this when positions become available. We can often tie in placements to certain modules so they can be used towards credits for the degree. By the time you graduate, you will be able to apply your programming and production skills to create virtual worlds of your own design. Crucially, these skills are no longer applicable just to games, but are increasingly valued by industry for use in teaching, marketing and simulations and serious games.

Incorrigible humanity, therefore, led astray by the giant Nimrod, presumed in its heart to outdo in skill not only nature but the source of its own nature, who is God; and began to build a tower in Sennaar, which afterwards was called Babel (that is, 'confusion'). By this means human beings hoped to climb up to heaven, intending in their foolishness not to equal but to excel their creator.
Dante Alighieri, De vulgari eloquentia, Chapter VII
Technology
We cannot idealize technology. Technology is only and always the reflection of our own imagination, and its uses must be conditioned by our own values. Technology can help cure diseases, but we can prevent a lot of diseases by old-fashioned changes in behavior.
