Bachelor Programme in Computer Game Programming

180 Credits, Programme, bachelor's level
Computer Game Programming is an education for those who like to work within the exciting game industry. In this engineering programme you will focus on game programming and prepare for an international labour market.

After completing the education you have become a skilled programmer who has good knowledge in game development and game production. Computer Game Programming leads to an engineering degree which has some implications on the entry requirements but also guarantees solid technical knowledge in your field of work. During the education you will also learn about the entrepreneurial way of thinking so that you can reach out with your ideas and products. The place of study is Skellefteå where students collaborate with students in Visual Arts and Digital Design.

Description

The education is based on an general engineering education and complemented with a number of game programming courses and projects. Among the competenses included are AI programming, physics programming for games, graphics programming, game engine architecture, game production and a number of game projects. For a modern 3D game you need skills from a number of areas and at Luleå University of Technology you are trained in several of them. The education is production-oriented, which means that we create production environments so that you are given the opportunity to work with other developers, graphics artists or others to learn industrial working methods.

Labour market

In Sweden and the rest of the world, the computer game industry is growing, which means that more skilled game programmers are needed. The film industry also needs programmers who understand technology and workflows for the production of special effects.
