COURSE CURRICULUM

The BSc Computer Graphics, Vision and Games degree at Aberystwyth University provides a comprehensive education in computing, emphasizing both foundational and specialised skills. In the first year, students build essential computing knowledge through modules covering computer infrastructure, programming, object-oriented programming, web development, information security, and problem-solving. These modules develop the core technical abilities and analytical thinking required for more advanced study. In the second year, the focus shifts to intermediate topics including algorithm design, data structures, applied graphics, artificial intelligence, software engineering, and modelling persistent data, enabling students to develop problem-solving and system design capabilities while gaining practical experience in graphics and computing applications. The final year allows students to specialise in computer graphics, computer vision, and machine learning while undertaking a major project that integrates their knowledge and skills in a substantial, real-world computing challenge. Additionally, professional issues in the computing industry are addressed, preparing students for the workplace by developing their understanding of industry standards, ethics, and emerging trends. By combining theoretical knowledge with practical projects, the course equips graduates with the technical expertise, analytical ability, and creative problem-solving skills necessary to pursue careers in game development, visual computing, artificial intelligence, or other technology-focused roles in the computing industry.
