: Master of Science (Computer Games Technology) :


As the gaming industry grows so does the need for highly qualified professionals. In the Master of Science (Computer Games Technology) degree you will be able to hone your skills as a programmer and develop your portfolio to the next level, truly seperating yourself from the competition when going for the job of your dreams.

This industry recognized and accredited degree covers subjects such as Mathematics for Games, Artificial Intelligence, and Programming Games for the PC and XBox. All courses taught are 100% relevant to your subsequent career, and nearly 100% of all graduates obtain employment directly in the gaming industry.

Why get Your Masters Degree in Computer Games Technology?

Programmers remain the most in demand in the industry according to Game Developer Magazine's Career Guide Issue (Fall 2008). "Good ones are hard to find, and when they are found, they're compensated appropriately". They further state: "For programmers with a bachelor's degree, some college, or an associate's degree, we found no clear connection between salary and education. The factors that seem to have a greater effect than education on game programmers' salaries are: work experience, having both general and specialized knowledge, and talent. The exception is programmers with a master's degree, who earn significantly more than their peers, close to $91K".
