Computer Games Technology Course

[ExpertKing]

I studied both Computer game technology and Computer animation at Paisleys Dumfries campus as part of my degree. Pretty basic modules , and overall a little uninspiring to be honest. Hopefully the main campus will prove more rewarding for you.

Have you graduated yet?

Entering my 3rd year of a Computing Science degree in September . Don't let my experience put you off though , it's a pretty amateur set up at the Dumfries campus and thats half if the problem. Might be better to gain the opinion of someone studying at the main campus. I'm sure the modules will be put across with more enthusiam and professionalism.

I am doing Computer Games Design & Programming course at the moment and basically back up everything the others have said. Maths is key and the course i'm doing you do the physics orientated maths too. Programming, mainly C++, is vital and requires a great deal of patience and work. In the course I am doing there are also modules such as 3D Modelling (requires the use of 3D Studio Max) and Games Development (where you learn the ins and outs of the industry), these are just an example of the things I am doing on this course.

i've just graduated from bsc comp games technology in portsmouth, and it was ****.

waste of 3 years. and you have to be a proper rim licker of the first degree to be one of the many that gets that golden job at ubisoft or whatever. the only people who got fat jobs off my course were they ones that constantly had their noses firmly rammed up our lecturers arseholes, and acted as though they knew everything that could possibly be known

i say just geek it up on C++ or 3dstudiomax/maya in your own time learning off the net, and try and be a teaboy at some developers place or something. you'll learn just as much if not more just doing it off your own back, i barely got taught jack **** at my uni, had to learn it all myself in my spare time as new assignments appeared
