COURSE CURRICULUM

The game programming course offers a structured and immersive pathway to transform your passion for games into a professional career in the gaming industry. In the first year, you are introduced to the core areas of game development—design, art, and programming—allowing you to explore each field and identify your area of interest. During the second term, the focus shifts toward programming fundamentals, introducing you to C++ and foundational knowledge in mathematics and physics as they apply to game systems. You also begin working in a simulated studio environment, learning essential soft skills such as teamwork, project management, and professional collaboration. Core modules include game design, where you learn to conceptualize and document gameplay mechanics; game art, where you build basic 2D/3D skills; and game programming, where you explore different paradigms and problem-solving methods. In the second year, you begin to specialize, choosing between advanced topics like AI and graphics programming while continuing to work on collaborative studio projects. The emphasis is on refining your technical and soft skills, building a professional portfolio, and preparing for real-world employment. You learn to research the job market, prepare for interviews, and craft a compelling online presence. By the final year, your expertise is focused and deepened through modules in advanced C++ programming and a major final project, which can take the form of either a research dissertation or a large-scale, fully developed game. Working in a team, you take a game from concept to completion, ready for publication on a live platform. Portfolio development is a major component, showcasing your best work tailored to the role you aim to enter in the industry. The course culminates in the production of a polished game and a well-rounded professional portfolio, preparing you to step confidently into the world of game programming.
